Reef Crest Zonation

Reef Crest Zonation is a structural component of coral reef zonation that demarcates the distinct ecological and geomorphological band along the outermost, wave-resistant edge of a reef platform, characterized by high-energy conditions, dominant framework-building coral species, and a unique assemblage of organisms adapted to maximum insolation and turbulent water motion.
