The lanscape

2

A coastal lanscape is classified as the line or zone where the land meets the sea or any other large body of water. A coastal

landscape can be rocks or dirt meeting the ocean but is usually sand which is known as the beach. There are many animals and

landforms found within any lanscape.

Some landforms found in a coastal landscape includes: large rocks sticking out of the water due to erosion and example is the twelve

discipes, another landform would be a coral reef usually emerged underwater but some like the heart reef are above water, a very significant Australian icon is Bondi beach which is a coastal landform.

Since Australia is an island our border is all a coastal landscape which means Australia is home to many great coastal landforms such as the Twelve Apostles, Bondi Beach, Heart Reef, and The Great Barrier Reef.

In this magazine we will look at the Great Barrier Reef in detail. We will explore the Great Barrier Reef’s economic, aesthetic, cultural value as well as how humans as a whole are effecting the Great Barrier Reef. To finish off the magazine we will discuss some management strategies that will help the Great Barrier Reef.
