Abstract
Ribbon reef is a general term applied to most of the shelf-edge reefs of the Northern Region. The principal morphological characters of these reefs are described from aerial photographs. Their position in relation to the Queensland Trench is described from direct observation with the use of Scuba and from soundings. The depth and position of major reef zones and their substrates and dominant biota are described from transects of Tijou and Great Detached reefs.Keywords
