Satellite image of Montgomery Reef around Australia’s Yawajaba island captured at low tide on April 29, 2024, by the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8.Montgomery Reef , in Collier Bay, water levels drop sharply at low tide, allowing the plateau-shaped reef to emerge several meters above the water level.. This pair of images shows the reef when the tide was high and low in 2024. The high tide image was captured by the OLI-2 on Landsat 9 on April 21; theWhen the tide rises, the sandy islets and main mangrove-covered island, Yawajaba, within Montgomery Reef are visible, but the reef is mostly underwater and out of view.
As the tide pours off the structure, the outward flow of water can grow tumultuous. At times, whitewater cascading off the reef formswithin the reef, a spectacle for tourists and a hazard for wildlife. Fish, sea snakes, turtles, blacktop reef sharks, dugongs, and other creatures can be seen thrashing and tumbling off the coral platform as the water drains. Animals are occasionallyThe structure of Montgomery Reef is not entirely a product of coral.
