Motu
Motu is a term used in Polynesian culture to refer to a small island, often found in tropical regions. These islands can be formed from coral reefs or volcanic activity and are typically surrounded by shallow lagoons. Motus are known for their beautiful landscapes, sandy beaches, and diverse marine life, making them popular destinations for tourists.
In many cases, motus are uninhabited or have limited human presence, allowing for the preservation of natural ecosystems. They play a crucial role in local biodiversity and can serve as important sites for conservation efforts. Additionally, motus often provide habitats for various species of birds and marine animals.
