LEONORA'S REEF
Marked site BNMP #X

Consists of typical sloping reef with coral formations of huge size and with hollow centers which make excellent locations for many fish and other creatures. Remember that huge coral heads that are hollow are the ancient ones because coral age from the inside outward and begin to die where the coral polyps are the oldest. Estimates of age on some of these have been placed at over 75 years old. Depth 25-100 feet (8-30 meters).
