 Where?

• beachside or areas that are still exposed to sunlight

approximately 50 m below sea level
• most are found in tropical waters, are very sensitive to
changes in the environment, especially temperature,
salinity, sedimentation, eutrophication and require
natural water quality (pristine).
 Benefit?

as a coastal abrasion due to ocean waves and waves, and as a

source of biodiversity.

as a place to live fish that is much needed by humans in the field

of food, such as groupers, baronang fish, yellow tail fish), rocks

to climate change
2. Coral Reef Based on its
Location
• Coral Reef: These reefs
are the most found reefs
around the coast. This
reef can live to a depth of
40 m. This reef is circular
in shape towards the open

 3. Coral Reef Based on Zoning
Wind-facing reefs: these reefs are reefs
whose slopes lead to the open ocean. This
reef can live to a depth of 50 m and tends to
be fertile. This coral reef can also be called
pamatang alga.Reefs that are back to the
wind: these reefs are reefs that are generally
hard. Can be found at sea depth less than 50
m. The shape of this reef is like a narrow
coral reef.
