    The Great Barrier Reef stretches over 2,300 kilometers along Queensland's coastline and covers 35 million hectares, making it the world's largest coral reef system. It is home to over 1,500 fish species, 4,000 mollusk species, 400 sponge species, and 300 hard coral species. Recent research has found the two primary threats to the Great Barrier Reef are extreme weather events and crown-of-thorns starfish, which have caused a significant decline in coral cover over the past 30 years. While management changes and water quality improvements are having a positive effect, more needs to be done to help the Great Barrier Reef recover from damage and threats.

    Read the text below and answer the questions based on it.

    Stretching more than 2.300 kilometers along Queensland's coastline and covering 35 million hectares,
    the Great Barrier is the world's largest coral reef, and probably the richest. More than
    1.500 species of fish, 4.000 species of mollusks, 400 species of sponge and 300 species of hard
    corals live here. The reef is Queensland's first world heritage area. It is very importance to Aboriginal
    and Torres Strait Islander people with significant cultural sites on many of its islands. The reef is very
    important in other ways. The World Heritage Area is worth some $5.4 billion to the Australian
    economy. As many as $3.5 billion of that amount goes into the local towns and communities
    bordering the reef.

    Recent research published by the Australian Institute of Marine Science has found two
    primary factors that have caused a very significant decline in coral cover over the last 30 years
    or so. They are extreme weather and the crown-of-thorns starfish. The same research is telling
    us that coral cover north of Cook town is generally stable, but the southern area is experiencing
    major losses. The reef's complexities are well described in the 2013 Scientific Consensus Statement. This
    science contributed to the updated Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan). The plan is
    a state and federal initiative designed to stop and reverse the decline in reef water quality. The
    consensus statement confirms that the major cause of coral cover loss is extreme weather events,
    such as cyclones. Clearly, we are not able to influence such events.

    The second Great Barrier Reef Report Card confirms that management change and water
    quality improvements are tracking positively, but more needs to be done. The report was released
    in July 2013 and based on 2011 Paddock to Reef Monitoring Program data. The Queensland and
    Australian governments, together with industry, regional bodies, and conservation groups, will
    continue working hard to maintain progress towards Reef Plan targets. We want to be sure that the reef
    has the best possible opportunity to recover from cyclone damage and crown-of-thorns
    starfish attacks.
