Coral Reefs are massive limestone structures built up through the constructional cementing process and depositional activities of the animals of the class Anthozoa as well as other calcium carbonate secreting animals. Coral Reefs are centres of high biological productivity, sites of carbon-dioxide sink and sources of huge deposits of calcium carbonate.

They provide many natural raw materials of pharmacological importance including the life saving drugs and are diverse and vulnerable ecosystems characterized by a complex inter-dependents of plants and animals.

In the Indian sub-continent, the reefs are distributed along the East and West Coast at restricted places. Fringing reefs are found in the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay as well as Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Platforms reefs are seen along the Gulf of Kutch and Atoll Reefs are found in the Lakshadweep Archipelago.
