Meet the giant clam. It is appropriately named, as it is the LARGEST clam and bivalve in the world. It can be very brightly colored and large - over 4.5 feet and 550 pounds. These clams sadly face many threats like habitat degradation, pollution and climate change.

Home for life. The quiet life of a Giant Clam. Once a Giant Clam settles and chooses its home on the reef, it’s there for good, soaking up the sunlight and slowly growing bigger over the years. It’s a quiet, steady existence, silently supporting the Reef from the same spot for what could be over 100 years. It makes you wonder, do we too find peace in the places we choose to call home, growing and contributing quietly over time? Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority | Master Reef Guides
