Description

Permanently emerging, periodically uncovered, surface-breaking or near-surface raised features of the oceans, their connected seas and coastal waters, with their associated marine and terrestrial communities. The associated marine habitats can be coded by combining subdivisions of prefix 11 with the relevant physiographic subdivisions of 19, the terrestrial habitats by adding codes from units 3 and 4.
