39. REEF IN TROUBLE (Northern Great Barrier Reef)

Low Isles automatic lighthouse - a popular day-trip location out from Port Douglas, Qld.
Low Isles - coral being loved to death

Apology for the color .  Soft coral covering former hard coral is not a good sign.
An entire reef may die if a very low tide coincides with a tropical downfall of rain.  The giant clam is alive.  (Islands in background will help pin-point location).
