A reef is a ridge of material at or near the surface of the ocean. There are natural and artificial reefs.

Coral Reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems and are the Earth's largest living structure occupying about 1% of the world's marine environment. These large underwater structures are composed of marine invertebrates called coral. Unfortunately, 25% of coral reefs have been irrevocably damaged. Harsh fishing practices, coral mining, and climate change are some of the reasons behind their destruction.

The aquatic biome is divided into freshwater and marine regions. Freshwater regions, such as lakes and rivers, have a low salt concentration. Marine regions, such as estuaries and the ocean, have higher salt concentrations.
