What's That Shadow In The Water?
by
Gillena Cox
Salybia, Trinidad is
essentially the ideal place for hiking, retreats and beach
limes. Salybia is situated on the north east coast of Trinidad.
Scenic Salybia bay is
described by many as” windswept, with surging breakers and a
small fringing reef”.
Standing on the
sandy beach one can see shadowy areas of the reef. Salybia Reef,
approximately 1.5km long and 90m offshore in Salybia Bay, is the
only fringing coral reef in Trinidad.
Coral reefs are
carbonate structures produced by living organisms, found in
shallow, tropical marine waters with little to no nutrients in
the water.
A fringing reef is
directly attached to a shore or borders it with an intervening
shallow channel or lagoon.
