Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fringing reef is a type of coral reef that is attached to and built out from the shoreline. It is the most common type of coral reef and occurs in shallow, calm waters in tropical regions. Barrier reefs and atolls are similar types of coral reefs, but they are not attached to the shoreline, and motus are small islands that can be found on or near coral reefs.
