A preliminary assessment of the status of two hitherto unknown coral knolls, one in the Gulf of Mannar and another in the Andaman Sea, representing the respective areas is made. The coral patches together with the shore reef at Kilakarai, the only shore reef now known in the Indian mainland coast, bordering the Gulf of Mannar, are reported. It is suggested that some knolls in the Gulf of Mannar, such as Klinjampaar, may ultimately develop into sand clays by deposition during cyclones. The knoll described from the Andaman sea, the top of which is now exposed in low spring tides, indicates on upgrowth of about 1 fm after it is originally sounded. |
