Summary

[edit]
Description Coral reefs around Ahus and Onetta Islands, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea. Coral reefs stand out from their surroundings because of their shallower waters, shown in aquamarine. Exposed or shallow reefs at the reef edges tend to cause ocean waves to break, showing white foam as the cresting waves appear.
