An elongate outer-shelf coral reef in the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia
St. Crispin's Reef is an elongate outer-shelf[1] coral reef in the Great Barrier Reef , Queensland , Australia.
Location and topography [ edit ]
Named after St. Crispin , the French patron saint of cobblers and tanners,[2] St. Crispin's Reef is located 35 miles off the Queensland coast in the Coral Sea ,[3] in latitude 16° 07' 54.14" S longitude 145° 48' 22.46" E, at a depth of 9 metres.[4] It lies east of Undine Reef and south of Agincourt Reefs, close to Opal Reef.[5] [6] Protected by neighbor reefs, St. Crispin's structure consists of many shallow sandy channels that reticulate around coral mounds, rather than a typical reef slope. It has an abundance of soft corals and colourful marine life.[7]
Marine life [ edit ]
St. Crispin's Reef is a popular diving and snorkeling spot for expeditions from Port Douglas and Cairns .[8] Nicknamed "Flower garden" , the reef is host to Sergeant majors , Sweet lips , reef sharks , feather stars and bumphead parrot fish .[3] [9]
Classification [ edit ]
Classified by the Marine Park Authority for "Intensive use",[10] the reef has four moorings .[3] In 1998, divers Tom and Eileen Lonergan were accidentally left here by their dive expedition, and went missing. Their bodies were never found. The tragedy inspired the film Open Water.[11]
