Coral Sea Islands, Island group in Queensland, Australia.

The Coral Sea Islands encompass numerous small islands and reef formations across 780,000 square kilometers of ocean northeast of Queensland.

The territory became part of Australia in 1969 through the Coral Sea Islands Act, with additional reefs incorporated into the territory in 1997.

The islands maintain weather stations operated by Australian meteorological teams who conduct regular environmental monitoring and marine research activities.

Access to the Coral Sea Islands requires special permits from Australian authorities, with Willis Island being the only inhabited location.

Elizabeth and Middleton reefs within the territory represent the southernmost coral formations in the world, supporting an exceptional variety of marine species.
