A well developed reef , the 'Mannar Barrier' stretches along the southeast coast of India, from Rameswaram Island to Tuticorin i n a northeast, southwest direction, t o a distance of nearly 140 km. This formation is bridged by a shallow ridge, 'Adam's Bridge' to the reefs of Ceylon. On the leeward side of the reef flat , there are 20 small islands which are more or less 5 sq. km in size and mostly of the same elevation as the mainland coast. |
