Saving the Great Barrier Reef

The Australian Great Barrier Reef is a site that is beautiful to its age. The GBR is more than 60,000 years old, and it is still a world travel destination. Over the past 230 years, the reef has become a home of shipwrecks. 1,200 ship vessels have been sunk on the reef, with only 114 being discovered.
