The island is volcanic, c. 3\u20133\u00b75 million years old, and constitutes, with the Martin Vaz Archipelago, the eastern end of the Vit\u00f3ria-Trindade submarine ridge. Although the island has an emergent landmass area of only 9\u00b728 km2, it is surrounded by 32 km2 of shallow (0\u201350 m depth) platform. The main feature of the Trindade Island seascape is a large, flat fringing reef of encrusting coralline algae distributed along almost the entire island shore. The reef crest is in the surf zone (3\u20136 m deep), extends tens of metres from the island volcanic rocky shores and sandy beaches and has relatively high structural complexity. As depth increases seaward, there is a wide reef slope beyond the reef crest. The slope comprises habitats varying in structural complexity and ends at the interface, i.e. the zone between reef and non-consolidated substrata.","size":{"value":null,"unit":"ha"},"elevation":{"min":null,"max":null,"unit":"msl"},"images":null}}
