Zones
Lagoon:
Shallow area (relative to the deeper water of the bank/shelf) between the shoreline intertidal zone and the back reef of a reef or a barrier island. This zone is protected from the high-energy waves commonly experienced on the bank/shelf and reef crest. If no reef crest is present there is no lagoon zone.
Typical Habitats:- sand
- seagrass
- algae
- pavement
- volcanic/carbonate rock
- patch reefs
