  • Queensland, Australia

  • The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres.

  • Temperature rages from 75-84 degrees

  • The water flow bulk flow occurring through high permeability zones (voids and rubble) at a velocity on the order of 10 m/d
