500 METRE TALL CORAL REEF

500-METRE-TALL CORAL REEF

Scientists have discovered a detached coral reef in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia taller than the Empire State Building of the United States.

About the reef

The newly discovered reef adds to the seven other tall detached reefs in the world. This includes Raine Island.
Raine Island is the most important Green Sea Turtle nesting area in the world.

What are Detached reefs?

Detached reefs are the reefs that are bedded to the ocean floor but are not a part of the main body of the Great Barrier Reef.
The newly found detached reef has great potential for the new species to evolve because there is a lot of deep water between this reef and the next coral community.
