Description Popular books and monographs described a rornantic image of
the coral islands, which if one observes from outside the water i s not entirely
justified. Once beneath the waves, however, the coral islands show a fantastic
and very beautiful world, where the exceptionally diverse organisms
involving plants and animals form a complex web of interrelationship.
A coral reef 1s defined (Vaughan, 1931) as "a ridge or mount of limestor~e,
the upper surface of which lies, or lay a t the time of its formation, near
the level of the sea, and >redominantly cornposed of calcium carbonate
secreted by organisms, of whlch the most important a r e corals".
