Natural harbor formed naturally by the protection of mountains, bays, islands etc. and
are in use since long time. So, development in terms of population, geographical
features, etc. are rapid in natural harbor regions.

like storms or any other natural calamities.
Harbors of refuge are constructed with large entrance and they are easily accessible.
They provide good Anchorage to the vessels against storms and tides.
