Flinders Reef (Coral Sea)
Flinders Reef or Flinders Reefs is an isolated oceanic coral reef in the Coral Sea of the western Pacific Ocean . It lies east of Australia and the extensive Great Barrier Reef. Due to its remote location, it remains poorly studied. However, this isolation has also made it a potential site to mark the beginning of the Anthropocene.
The main reef is sometimes referred to as North Flinders Reefs, distinguishing it from a smaller reef immediately to its south sometimes called South Flinders Reefs.
