Marine park

Thanks, Lincoln.

And we're filming on Durrumbul and Wapaburra Country here in beautiful central Queensland on board one of our flagship marine park management vessels, the Reef Resilient.

And you can see all the bells and whistles behind me.

Straight off the bat, Roger, how big is the Great Barrier Reef? Is it hard to comprehend? And how do you explain it to people when you're asked that very same question?

So, I mean, there's so many stats that you could sort of rattle off and we have the great pleasure of doing that.

I mean, as you said, I mean, in area, it's sort of 344,400 square kilometres.

That's of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

It's slightly bigger if it's the World Heritage Area.

That means people all around the world agree it's a place worth saving.

The Australian government set up the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in nineteen seventy-five.

There are special zones where people can't fish or build.

Rangers and scientists work to keep the reef healthy.
