Lizard Island is located on the Great Barrier Reef.īelow is a screenshot of the photo on the website of the Ocean Agency: The photo's caption states: “Lizard Island, Australia, May 2016”. Thousands of species call the Reef home, according to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA).Ī Google reverse image search found the same photo in the misleading post published here with attribution to the Ocean Agency, a nonprofit marine conservation group. It stretches across 344,400 km (214,000 miles) and includes some 3,000 coral reefs and 600 islands. The Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, is the world’s largest reef ecosystem. “It has been revealed that the main reasons for the coral reefs to die this way were the spike in global warming caused by human activities, micro plastic pollution and the release of industrial waste into the oceans…” The Great Barrier Reef, which was sprawling across an area larger than the size of Great Britain, was also the only organism that could be spotted from the moon. About 600 organisms that were living off the coral reefs have died following the Reef’s demise. “The habitats of nearly 30 types of whales are located close to the Great Barrier Reef. Some 1,050 islands, 1,625 varieties of species excluding fish, 3,000 varieties of fish made the Great Barrier Reef their home but hereafter it will only be a skeletal home that accommodates only a few organisms. “The Great Barrier Reef was the world's largest living organism, spanning over 1,400 miles and by the time of its death, it had lived 25 million years. The scientists who officially announced this tragic news to the world said the largest organism was murdered by humans over time. It has been reported to us that it’s been announced today officially and globally the Great Barrier Reef is dead.
The lengthy Sinhala-language caption translates to English as: “The Great Barrier Reef dies. The Sinhala language text superimposed on the blue footer of the image translates to English as: “The world’s largest organism dies after living for 25 million (years)”.
