This photo shows an aerial view of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of the Whitsunday Islands, along the central coast of Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park encompasses about 99 percent of the World Heritage-listed natural wonder, with the additional one percent outside the marine park but within the heritage-listed area -- about 3, 600 square kilometres (1, 390 square miles) -- being managed by the Queensland state government and includes most islands and ports, as well as lakes and other waterways.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking aerial view captures the magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef, a natural wonder that stretches along the central coast of Queensland, Australia. The photo showcases the vibrant blue hues of the ocean as it meets this expansive reef system off the Whitsunday Islands. Covering about 99 percent of this World Heritage-listed marvel is the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which safeguards its delicate ecosystem. Managed by both government and state authorities, this protected area spans an impressive 3,600 square kilometers (1,390 square miles) and includes not only islands and ports but also lakes and other waterways. The image serves as a reminder of our responsibility to conserve and protect such precious environments for future generations. The Great Barrier Reef is not just an Australian treasure; it holds global significance due to its rich biodiversity and ecological importance. Photographer Sarah Lai has expertly captured this scene from above, showcasing nature's intricate artwork on a grand scale. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph, we are reminded of both the beauty that exists within our world's oceans and our duty to preserve them for years to come
