A reef is a living community of various organisms and must have sunlight, oxygen and food to survive. The reef itself is a rock-like structure built from coral and algae. Worms, fish and other sea creatures break down and rearrange the growth, creating a more solid base for additional development. Reefs grow slowly, and "branches" of the structure may increase by only three or four inches each year. Large brain corals are often hundreds of years old. Unfortunately, careless swimmers, divers and boaters often cause harm to the easily-damaged reefs through carelessness.
Many animals live on and around a reef, including moray eels, starfish, urchins, crabs, sponges, lobsters and anemones. Coral reefs often draw parrotfish, tangs, snappers, angels and squirrel fish.
- FACT: Coral polyps feed at only during the night. They gather food by extending tentacles from their skeletal homes to capture plankton from the water.
Reefs develop best when water temperatures are between 70 and 80. Most sand is actually tiny fragments of broken-down coral that are carried to shore by waves, tides and currents. When reefs are prevented from growing and breaking down naturally, there is no new sand, and, therefore, no replenished beaches. Reefs also defend beaches from powerful ocean waves. Coasts that are not protected by reefs are usually rocky and craggy.
- TIP: You can see a natural coral reef without getting wet at Coral World on the north coast of St. Thomas.
Serious nature lovers will want to order a copy of Island Peak to Coral Reef from the University of the Virgin Islands, written by researchers Toni Thomas and Barry Devine. Available at island bookstores and by mail from the university. tel. (340) 693-1057, pr@uvi.edu.
Everyone imagines being on a Caribbean island during the winter when the weather is miserable most everywhere else. While winter is an ideal time to visit the Virgin Islands, summer, spring and fall have advantages, too.
Since temperatures remain steadily in the 80s year-round, smart travelers often prefer to come here during the summer off-season, when more bargains are available. The islands celebrate a variety of holidays and events during the April-October off-season. For the exact dates of specific festivals and celebrations, contact the government tourist offices listed in the Island Facts & Numbers section at the end of each island chapter.
