Pictures: Heron Island, Australia

These photographs were taken by Nancy Butler and are the property of mongabay.com, copyright 2005. Contact me regarding use and reproduction.

Bisected by the Tropic of Capricorn, the reef encircling Heron island is home to around 900 species of fish and about 72% of the coral species found in the Great Barrier Reef. The island supports large nesting populations of noddy terns, mutton birds, and sea turtles. Additional pictures from Heron
