An atoll is a type of low, coral island found in tropical oceans and consisting of a coral-algal reef surrounding a central depression. The depression may be part of the emergent island, but more typically is a part of the sea (that is, a lagoon), or very rarely is an enclosed body of fresh, brackish, or highly saline water.

Oceanography Dictionary - algal galls
Definition and meaning of algal galls:
algal galls - a response of gorgonia (Pseudoplexaura spp.) to tissue invasion by the algae, Entocladia endozoica, in Florida and Caribbean waters. The host gorgonia react to the algal filaments by producing capsules (galls) composed of skeletal elements that isolate the algae from the host tissue, at the expense of the skeletons' tensile strength and elasticity. The gorgonium readily breaks apart at the sites of the weakened skeleton. For more information and illustrations, see: http://www.coral.noaa.gov/coral_disease/algal_galls.shtml

Oceanography Dictionary - harmful algal bloom, HAB
Definition and meaning of harmful algal bloom:
harmful algal bloom (HAB) - an increased abundance of algae that may cause illness in people or marine animals. HAB's can cause mass mortalities of marine organisms, are a public health risk, and can cause economic damage through declines in tourism, shellfish bed closures, and reductions in the market value of seafood

Oceanography Dictionary - tetrasporophyte
Definition and meaning of tetrasporophyte:
tetrasporophyte - diploid phase in the life cycle of red algae which produces haploid tetraspores.The tetrasporophyte is the site of meiosis, more specifically, the tetrasporangia where haploid tetraspores are produced. These tetraspores are released, settle, and grow into the gametophyte, completing the basic red algal life history
