Description

 

If you sail along the Great Barrier Reef, besides the blue sky, the caressing sun and the clear water, flying fish flit everywhere. The flying fish reach a length of 50 cm and can fly distances up to 200 meters above the water surface. Of particular beauty are the coral reefs. Corals need clean water, with temperatures over 18 degrees. The color of corals depends on the pigmentation and they can be brown, green, red, yellow and blue. Coral reefs are home to over 3,000 species of mollusks, two thousand species of fish, over three hundred of echinoderms and many species of ciliated and polychaetes. In the Coral Sea you can find many fish species, including predators and dangerous to humans: shark, moray eel. The moray is a snake like fish, predator, up to 3 meters. Masquerading in corals they wait to ambush their prey. Moray eels live directly on coral reefs. Morays bite painfully. During the dive, you must be very careful and remember that even such seemingly safe sea urchins can cause great harm to the health or even contact with them can lead to death. Some echinoderms can hit with poison. The needles of these animals are equipped with glands that produce venom. The danger may be caused by various worms and jellyfish. The density of worms in the water is sometimes up to several thousand per 1 cubic meter. Prick bristles of these worms cause severe pain and fever. The coral reef fish are beautiful and are painted in different colors. They float around in flocks feeding on corals. Coral fish have a variety of forms.

 

Whirlpool of Life

 

The Reef is like a half submerged fortress wall, consisting of nearly 2900 individual reefs and 71 islands. Its age is of ten thousand years. This is a huge bunch of life, which features hundreds of living organisms. You can spend hours to consider the coral. That's where the whirlpool of life, that's where is a unique diversity, from tiny plants to huge giants, corals, sponges, turtles, sea stars and sea urchins, fish and worms. Bright spots sponges, scattered limestone rocks, and in the pits visible claws and massive large crabs are. Just under the water you can really see the multicolored coral, which is absent in the dim representative copies of the underwater kingdom. You can spend hours admiring the rare color of the Great Barrier Reef, which changes the weather and the time of the day, and maybe the mood.

 

Along the reef

 

Those who visit the Great Barrier Reef wish to take a trip along the reef which is very funny and a rewarding job. The range of blue, with turquoise shades, the sea breeze make the sun burn you. The brown noldi will accompany you along the way, something talking. A whole flock of dolphins can swim for about an hour there. Some occasionally fall on their side, and with sly half-closed eyes, considering you. Others jump out of the water, grunting with pleasure. The water is so transparent that you can see how the depth of this coral is overgrown with forest. There are large rounded masses of coral, mushrooms, trees, branching and plates. A palette of colors for any artist to envy. The chief whip of the Great Barrier Reef are the pirates, poachers. On the horizon now and then speed boats are flashing, which immediately roll up to the side, seeing the "foreign" court. These barbarians are literally gnawing the Great Barrier Reef, breaking off the most beautiful corals, after which they begin to die. Saving the Great Barrier Reef from destruction is a general task.

  What a sea is   A sea is a generic name given to the vast expanses of standing water, deep and salty, on the Earth's surface, which are usually united by a narrow ocean.
A sea is also a part of the ocean, isolated land, islands or underwater terrain elevations, different from the hydrological and meteorological regime of an open ocean: salinity, water temperature, currents, etc.
The more closed the sea dry land is, the more it differs from the ocean.
A sea is sometimes an open ocean or a large lake.
  Sea classification   According to the degree of isolation and according to the characteristics of the hydrological regime, the seas of the world are divided into internal or semi-enclosed seas, marginal and inter-island seas.
From the geological point of view, the modern seas are young formations: they are all defined in outline, similar to modern, in the Paleogene-Neogene time, and finally took shape in the man-made.
The deepest seas were formed in the areas of major crustal faults ( The Mediterranean Sea).
Shallow seas have flooded waters in the oceans outlying parts of the continents in their lowered or increased sea level and are usually on the continental shelf.
A seaside is a narrow part of shallow seas and oceans, including the drying zone at a low tide.

  The Marmara Sea is the smallest sea, the largest sea is the Sargasso.
The saltiest sea is the Red Sea.
Because of the lack of a river flow, the water of the Red Sea is one of the most transparent.
The visibility in the water is of a few tens of meters.
The Red Sea also occupies a top position in the list of the warmest seas, with temperatures up to 32 degrees.
The sea is very popular with snorkellers.
Some seas are named by the color of the sea, for example, the same Red Sea is named for the brown microalgae, which give the water a reddish hue.
The Black Sea is named due to the fact that if you omit the depth of any object, it will be covered with a black coating (hydrogen sulphide salt dark color).
The Sargasso Sea due to the green of the large amount of algae.
The Baltic Sea is called golden because the water dissolved in the sea several times more gold than in other seas, six times higher than in the Black Sea.
In all the seas and oceans were dissolved 15 - 25 billion pounds of gold.
