Q. Great Barrier Reef, recently seen in news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Australia
Notes: New evidence from the Australian Marine Conservation Society shows that coral bleaching in the southern Great Barrier Reef is worse than expected. The reef, off Australia's northeastern coast, is the world's longest and largest, spanning over 2,300 km with 3,000 reefs and 900 islands. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a marine protected area. The recent bleaching underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts to preserve this vital ecosystem.
