Popis: Exposures of both living and dead biogenic rock built by calcarous algae, madreporaria and serpulids are present in the northern Adriatic Sea. These asymmetrical patch reefs, which project up to 4 m above the present sea floor, are best developed off Chioggia, Italy, in water depths ranging from 17 to 24 m. Side-scan sonar traverses showed that individual reef exposures are areally irregular and ranged in size from roughly 1 to 100,000 m 2 .
