154 AU - Great Barrier Reef (1981)

Brief Description

"The Great Barrier Reef is a site of remarkable variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia. It contains the world’s largest collection of coral reefs, with 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc. It also holds great scientific interest as the habitat of species such as the dugong (‘sea cow’) and the large green turtle, which are threatened with extinction."

大堡礁

"大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北海岸，这里物种多样、景色迷人，有着世界上最大的珊瑚礁群，包括400种珊瑚、1500种鱼类和4000种软体动物。大堡礁还是一处得天独厚的科学研究场所，因为这里栖息着多种濒临灭绝的动物，比如儒艮（“美人鱼”）和巨星绿龟。"
