What does the Coral Sea look like in the Pacific?

The Coral Sea in the southwest Pacific is a semi-enclosed marginal sea. It is located between the northeastern part of the Australian continent and New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides, and New Caledonia. It has vast waters that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The Coral Sea is located in the low latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. The water temperature is above 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and the water temperature in the hottest month reaches 28 degrees Celsius. It is a typical tropical ocean. Since there is almost no river water flowing in, the sea water is clean, blue and highly transparent, so the deep water area is relatively calm.

The blue sea is inlaid with thousands of verdant islands, surrounded by yellow-orange golden sand. The islands are lush with green trees, and sometimes layers of white waves are stirred up on the reefs. Under the strong sunlight, It looks bright and dazzling when illuminated.

Looking down at the blue sea from the shore of the island, you can see the light yellow, light brown, light green and red corals underwater. Some of the beautiful coral bushes are shaped like cattail fans, some are like flower branches and antlers, and some are like a blooming lily. They are various and magnificent. The clear blue waters cover the colorful coral islands, presenting a beautiful and unique tropical scenery.

There are not only numerous corals here, but also thousands of coral islands and reefs created by the descendants of corals. The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef group, stretches in the western part of the sea. It is 2,400 kilometers long, narrow in the north and wide in the south, gradually expanding from 2,000 meters to 150 kilometers, with a total area of ??more than 80,000 square kilometers.

The Great Barrier Reef is surrounded by a variety of seaweeds and molluscs, as well as many other colorful marine life. Under the blue water is a paradise of various coral polyps.

They are like a huge colorful carpet. As the sea water rises and falls, colorful tropical fish shuttle back and forth, forming a huge aquatic museum and a vibrant underwater garden.

In 1979, the Australian government planned to build the world's largest marine park of coral islands and reefs with a total area of ??more than 10,000 square kilometers for people to visit.

Tourists can rest and entertain in white tents on the islands and reefs, fish and walk on the golden beaches of the coast, or take a special submersible underwater to see the charming underwater world in person .

Of course, there are many undulating reefs lurking under this tranquil water surface, which will also become serious obstacles to the navigation of various ships; in the beautiful underwater world, there are also hidden blue dots, There are many poisonous creatures such as sea anemones and fire urchins. In addition, this is indeed a beautiful sea paradise.
