Coral Sea

The Coral Sea is a large body of water located northeast of Australia, bordered by the coral reef-laden coasts of Queensland. It is known for its rich marine biodiversity, including vibrant coral reefs and diverse fish species, making it a popular destination for diving and tourism. The sea is historically significant, notably for the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942 during World War II, which was a crucial naval engagement between the U.S. and Japan. Today, it remains a vital area for shipping and fishing, as well as environmental conservation efforts to protect its unique ecosystems.
