Great Southern Reef,

rocky reef complex, c. 27,000 sq mi (70,000 sq km), extending almost 5,000 mi (8,100 km) along S and SW Australia coast, from Brisbane to Perth. The reef's temperate marine ecosystem is dominated by kelp forests teeming with life, including sponges, crustaceans, and mollusks, many of them unique to the area. Fishing, shellfishing, and tourism are a major industries on the reef.
