Great Barrier Reef (Civ6)

The Great Barrier Reef is a two-tile passable in Civilization VI. The Great Barrier Reef appears on tiles. Each Wonder tile provides 3 and 2 . Each wonder tile provides +2 Appeal to adjacent tiles and a major adjacency bonus to nearby Campuses and Observatories (but not Seowon).
In Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, discovering the Great Barrier Reef grants +1 Era Score, or +3 Score if the player is the first to do so.
== Strategy ==
Each Great Barrier Reef tile has a yield of 3 and 2 . Since is often hard to generate early in the game, incorporating natural wonder tiles can provide a vital head start through the tech tree.
Like ordinary Coast tiles, the yields of the Great Barrier Reef's tiles can be increased using certain bonuses. If the wonder tiles are owned by a city with a , Shipyard, and Seaport, the yield of the tiles will increase by 1 , 1 , and 2 respectively. (The bonus from the Shipyard only works in Gathering Storm.) Auckland's Suzerain bonus also increases the tile yields by 1 , and by a further 1 upon reaching the Industrial Era. Unlike tiles with Reefs, however, the wonder tiles don't provide a Defense Strength bonus.
Unfortunately, as with all natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef tiles cannot be developed or improved. Because of this, natural wonders are sometimes more of a hindrance than an asset later in the game - a natural wonder in the heart of a city can spoil adjacency bonuses for districts. In general, passable wonder tiles are significantly better than an unimproved tile of any kind, but are often less productive than an ordinary tile with an improvement or a district. If the wonder spawns directly adjacent to the coast, it can be incorporated into a National Park.
