Fringe Reef grow close to the shorelines of continents and islands and can be attached to the shore, or there may be a narrow strip of water called a lagoon or channel between the land and the reef.
Barrier Reefs occur farther offshore, such as the Great Barrier Reef, often several miles from the shorelines of continents and islands. Las but not least, Atoll reefs which is a ring of coral surrounding a lagoon of water. It usually begins as a fringe reef around a volcanic island.
