Cairns’ Main Attraction: The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef stretches for more than 2,300 kilometers along the northeast coast of Queensland from Bundaberg in the south to the tip of Cape York in the north and consists of over 400 species of hard and soft corals. Over 97 per cent of land in Cairns and Great Barrier Reef is protected including areas in the Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforests to the north, the Atherton Tablelands the Lamb Range, McAllister Ranges and Mission Beach to the south.

The reef itself is the largest natural feature on earth, and can be seen from space. In order to preserve its natural beauty and undersea life the government has imposed the Environmental Management Charge or “reef tax” which is requires all commercial enterprises to apply for and be granted special permits to allow them and their visitor’s access to the reef and its surrounding waters. These taxes are not only used to preserve the undersea habitat, but are also used to educate those entrusted with the reefs legacy, the ranger patrols. In this way the reef and the region can be enjoyed for generations to come and remains one of the most desirable destinations in the world with millions of people visiting the reef each year in a sustainable manner.

For those visitors who wish to learn more about the reef, its inhabitants, and the ongoing efforts to preserve the area Reef Tech is an educational center that offers nightly presentations of easily understood information and facts that help to explain the background to the eco-tourism guidelines and how to best experience the Great Barrier Reef.

The water around the reef is so clear that it can be seen from the air as tourists arrive in Cairns, despite being 150 meters below surface. Home to over 1,500 species of fish the reef is made up of millions of coral polyps that create the brilliantly colored shapes that make up the reef. The fish and their environment are watched over by the Species Conservation Unit of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority so that the indigenous dugongs, marine turtles, whales and dolphins will flourish for everyone’s benefit.

Whale watching has become a popular attraction and each year close to 8,000 humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the reef and join the underwater population of porpoises, dolphins and dwarf minke whales. June is the optimum time for whale watching in the sea surrounding the reef.

Sharing this environment with the fantastic sea mammals are 17 kinds of sea snakes, 125 species of sharks, stingrays and skates, 5000 species of molluscs including giant clams and cone snails, and over1500 species of fish which include the clownfish, red bass, redthroat emperor and many species of snapper and coral trout.

Bird watching is another activity that Cairns and the surrounding area have become noted for. With over 200 species of birds, that include no less than 40 species of water fowl, the island nesting sites in the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef are accessible by approved tours.
