Added a "See Also" for Zimmerman's Competing Theory of Reef Formation
The article on Don Z. Zimmerman mentions that he had a theory of reef formation that made predictions that differed from Darwin's. To quote: Zimmerman "believed that (Darwin's theory) was incorrect, at least in the case of the Marshall Islands, and put forward his own theory. The difference was crucial to the success of the operation, for if Zimmerman was right then the slope off the lagoon shore would be steeper than forecast by Darwin, and the lagoon deep enough for LSTs to enter it and discharge tanks directly onto the beach. It turned out that Zimmerman, who went ashore with the 4th Marine Division, was correct." I simply added it as a "See also." Should there be anything about that in the body of the article? Has Zimmerman's theory been further supported or further debunked since WWII? AdderUser (talk) 01:56, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
