    The Great Barrier Reef is over 1,250 miles long, longer than the Great Wall of China. It contains over 1,500 different types of fish including clown fish, angelfish, and manta rays. Several endangered species such as dugongs, blue whales, and sea turtles live in the reef. Coral is made up of living polyps and comes in over 400 types, providing an important habitat for many species. However, the reef is threatened by human pollution, litter, and rising water temperatures from global warming, as well as invasive species. Various groups are working to protect the reef through plans and community involvement.
