What Causes the Lagoon Between a Fringing Reef and the Shore?
š” The Answer
- Some fringing reefs develop a narrow lagoon as the reef grows outward.
- This lagoon forms due to erosion and sediment accumulation behind the reef.
- It provides a calm habitat for diverse marine life.
- Not all fringing reefs have lagoons; some are directly attached.
