MANGAREVA ISLAND (FRENCH POLYNESIA), PACIFIC OCEAN - JANUARY 2023 : View of the barrier reef which separate the lagoon from the open ocean of Mangareva island on January 21, 2023, in the Gambier archipelago, Pacific Ocean. The coral reef, which separates the lagoon from the ocean, is the result of the secretion of calcium carbonate by corals. Besides representing an ecosystem of major ecological importance, this barrier also protects human populations from powerful ocean swells, limiting drastically the erosion of the coastline.
