Coral reef is the term for any fully
marine, underwater
ecosystem with a calcium carbonate foundation produced by the skeletons of
living organisms, a substantial number of which are
corals. Generally, coral reefs are found in shallow and warm marine waters with significant sunlight penetration. The calcareous structure produced by the living organisms makes for an excellent habitat for animal and plant life. Known as "rainforests of the sea" and "oases in the desert of the ocean," coral reefs are among the most rich and diverse
ecosystems on Earth.
