Coffin's Patch
A conglomerate of
six distinct patch reefs, each with a unique identity defined by a
predominant coral species. For example, at Pillar Coral Patch dozens of
intact pillar coral heads thrust their fuzzy polyps to snare passing
nutrients. Although there is some question on the location, the Nuestra
Senora de la Maravillas was sunk in a storm here in 1656 and only
partially salvaged by the Spanish early on after the wreck.
