Unfortunately, the Great Barrier Reef is still vulnerable, as in the southern region it decreased from 38% to 34%. The reef has been suffering from a large amount of ocean bleaching due to the ...
Belgian Scientific Expedition was a scientific survey of the Great Barrier Reef, conducted in 1967–1968.. The Belgian Scientific Expedition to the Great Barrier Reef was a seven month expedition beginning in 1967, sponsored by the University of Liege, Belgium, the Belgium Ministry of Education and the National Foundation for Scientific Research.
The sea contains numerous islands and reefs, as well as the world's largest reef system, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981.
