Today I read a article on the different types of coral reefs. Firstly was the Fringing reefs, some of which are right along the beach, are number one. They can also produce shallow subtidal or intertidal areas with sandy bottoms, although they are not large enough to be called lagoons. The Barrier Reef, which runs parallel to the shore, is the second. They're large, and they're separated from the shore by a lagoon. Due to its formation, the barrier reef wall is the difference between deep blue oceans and crystal clear gorgeous waters. Finally, there are the Atolls, which are located in the Indian Ocean. In the Caribbean, there are only roughly 27 identified atolls. In comparison to the Caribbean, the IndoPacific has far more atolls.
