Explanation:
A coral reef that runs approximately parallel to the beach and is separated from it by a lagoon or other body of water is known as a barrier reef. Several channels breach a barrier reef, providing access to the lagoon and the island or continent beyond.
Coral reefs are most commonly seen in the tropical waters that encircle the equatorial belt. Corals invading the oceans of a protected volcanic island typically take root on the new rock beneath the surface. The Great Barrier Reef, located off Australia's south coast, is the world's biggest coral reef.
