It provides a gigantic and significant environment for the development and livelihoods of a huge variety of marine life.

Explanation:

Apart from effects on local ocean currents, the most significant aspect of the reef is the support of all sorts of marine life that would not be there - or possibly even exist without such a structure.
All reefs have similar contributions to the sustainability of marine life, but simply due to its size, the Great Barrier Reef is unique and possibly more significant than any other.
