The great barrier reef is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It covers a bigger area than Italy but is in big trouble. It has been in trouble for years now but people have just decided to do something about it now. There are very little fish and sharks in the reef and there used to be millions. A big cause for this had recently been the major flooding in Australia. The flood waters run back into the ocean which goes strait for the barrier reef. In these flood waters there are big amounts of agricultural fertilizers which causes major algae blooms. There is also a a lot of pollution in the water. This reef and reefs around the world are getting destroyed due to an over amount of pollution. If nothing is done to fix this then the reefs will disappear.
