Moreover, the rise and fall takes place at different hours in the two oceans, the station in the port of Colon being nine hours behind that of the Pacific. Another result of these tidal discrepancies is the different aspects presented by the opposite seaboards. While the Atlantic coastlands are narrow, those of the Pacific develop in some places broad stretches of beach, and are also less rich in coral reefs than the Caribbean Sea, high tides being fatal to most species
