ReefBase: A Global Information System for Coral Reefs. [month, year]. http://www.reefbase.org
Abstract
ReefBase gathers available knowledge about coral reefs into one information repository. It is intended to facilitate analyses and monitoring of coral reef health and the quality of life of reef-dependent people and to support informed decisions about coral reef use and management.
ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, with funding through ICRAN from the United Nations Foundation (UNF).
ReefBase's Online Geographic Information System (ReefGIS) allows you to display coral reef related data and information on interactive maps. You can zoom, search and query data layers, and save or bookmark the map. Selected datasets in ReefBase can be downloaded here.
