The Saba Bank
The Saba Bank is the largest undersea atoll in the Caribbean and one of the largest in the world (2000km). Along the edge of the bank there are extensive coral reefs. The corals provide the threedimensional structure where all the other plants and animals live. They are the building blocks of the Bank.
