Scenarios about 'great barrier reef'
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system stretching over 2,300 kilometers along Australia's northeastern coast. This UNESCO World Heritage site consists of nearly 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands, forming a critical marine ecosystem that has evolved over thousands of years. In alternate history scenarios, the reef often serves as an environmental focal point where different conservation approaches, colonial developments, or climate outcomes dramatically alter Pacific geopolitics and global ecological history.
