Synopsis

Barrier Reef was an Australian television series that was first screened in 1971. Barrier Reef centred around a group of marine biologists on board a ship called the New Endeavour, researching around the Great Barrier Reef, off Queensland, Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef is "The only living organic collective visible from Earth's orbit."
