Atolls islands are low-lying reef carbonate islands. They usually consist of a series of narrow islands or motus surrounding a relatively shallow seawater lagoon. There are 261 atolls among the south-west Pacific Ocean. The largest number of atolls (77) are found in French Polynesia (Tuamotu Archipelagos)
