Passage 1

Located in Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's most extensive coral reef structure. The reef has been evolving for over 15,000 years and is made up of over 3,000 individual reef systems. It covers a total area of 348,000 square kilometersā€“that's the same size as 70 million football fields! In fact, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living thing that is visible from space. The biodiversity of the reef is remarkable. It is home to many unique ecological communities, habitats, and species. Some of these species, such as turtles and crocodiles, have been around since prehistoric times. The reef contains 600 types of soft and hard corals. It also provides a habitat to 1,500 species of fish. 133 varieties of sharks and rays swim the waters of the reef. The region also hosts a variety of birds, whales, dolphins, and many other species. These species of the Great Barrier Reef and their habitats are deeply interconnected.

Passage 2

On our trip to Queensland, Australia, one thing was certain. Visiting the Great Barrier Reef was going to be spectacular. As soon as we arrived, we decided to take a glass-bottomed boat tour. The guide on the excursion gave us a lot of amazing information about the reef. We didn't realize it was the same size as 70 million football fields! We learned about the long history of the reef on our trip, too. When we spotted a sea turtle, the guide explained how turtles, like crocodiles, have been around since prehistoric times. We also learned about the different types of coral on the reef and the species it provides a habitat to. Not only does the reef have so many different fish, sharks, and rays, but the birds in the area are also unique. The Great Barrier Reef was well worth the trip just to learn about how all the species that call it home are connected.
