Quando a mar\u00e9 baixa, a coluna d\u2019\u00e1gua diminui e partes do conjunto ficam mais f\u00e1ceis de observar, criando o aspecto de grandes piscinas naturais em mar aberto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dist\u00e2ncia citada varia conforme a refer\u00eancia e o ponto medido, mas estudos colocam os recifes a cerca de <strong>5 a 7 quil\u00f4metros da costa<\/strong>.
