The next human impact on the Great Barrier Reef is tourism. Approximately two million people visit the reef each year. This intense tourism is harming the fragile reef and its delicately constructed ecosystem (21). This is because the reef can be damaged by reef walking, dropped anchors, and the pollution from boats’ fuel. It is even affected by the sweat and suntan lotion from the tourists (2).
