	Reef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reefs can be created artificially either by special construction or through deliberately sinking ships, but one can argue that these "reefs" are not real ones, as it is seldom the case that an artificial obstruction would be created that is a hazard to shipping.
		Thus, "artificial reef" is a misnomer, though firmly established as the term used for man-made underwater habitat structures.
		In addition, reef structures within a sequence of sedimentary rocks provide a discontinuity which may serve as a trap or conduit for fossil fuels or mineralizing fluids to form petroleum or ore deposits.

	Coral reef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coral reefs are either restricted or absent from along the west coast of the Americas, as well as the west coast of Africa.
		Coral reefs are home to a variety of tropical or reef fishes, such as the colorful parrotfishes, angelfishes, damselfishes and butterflyfishes.
		Reefs are also home to a large variety of other organisms, including sponges, Cnidarians (which includes some types of corals and jellyfish), worms, crustaceans (including shrimp, spiny lobsters and crabs), mollusks (including cephalopods), echinoderms (including starfish, sea stars, sea urchins and sea cucumbers), sea squirts, sea turtles and sea snakes.

		A coral reef is a type of biotic reef that develops in tropical waters by the growth of coralline algae, hermatypic corals, and other marine organisms.
		Coral reefs are typically massive biogenic formations of calcium carbonate (limestone) that are deposited within or around the bodies of the inhabitants of the reef as skeletal material.
		The process of nutrient recycling between corals, zooxanthellae, and other reef organisms provides an explanation for why coral reefs flourish in these waters: recycling ensures that fewer nutrients are needed overall to support the community.

		Coral reefs are an exception to the lack of life in the marine tropical waters.
		A barrier reef forms as the oceanic island begins to sink into Earth's crust due to the absence of volcanic island building forces, the added weight of the coral reef, and erosion at the surface of the island.
		The lagoon fills in with eroded material from both the reef and the island and is a haven for marine forms that require protection from waves and storms.

		It is likely that the trawl fishing industry in the Great Barrier Reef is having a similar effect on sea snake populations.
		The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is currently developing a management plan, the Representative Areas Program, that will hopefully protect sea snake species in the GBR, however this will need to be continuously evaluated as more information regarding sea snakes becomes available.

	Section B - Reef-building corals (Scleractinia)
		By building the framework upon which reefs depend, they create homes for thousands upon thousands of creatures, and change the very nature of the ocean they live in.
		Coral reefs in the area became overgrown by seaweed because sea urchins numbers were too low to keep the growth of the seaweed in check.
		This example shows that the ecology of a reef is complex, and changes in the numbers of any one member of community may have extensive and unpredictable effects on the entire community.
