Coral Triangle Boundary The Boundary of the Coral Triangle was delineated based on species diversity (corals, reef fishes and other invertebrates: Veron et al, unpublished data), habitat type and diversity, oceanography, geomorphology, bathymetry, sea level fluctuations and river discharge. It comprises all or part of six countries in Southeast Asia and Melanesia: Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia (Sabah), Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

CTI-CFF Implementation Area Summary FOR USE IN CORAL TRIANGLE PROGRAM MAPS THE FOLLOWING NOTE MUST BE INCLUDED: "Boundaries are only for illustration and are not legally binding in any way. Note that a boundary for Brunei is not known, disputed boundaries exist in this geography, and that internal boundaries are not shown." Original metadata from Flanders Marine Institute follows: Maritime boundaries and Exclusive Economic Zones in particular are important for a lot of biogeographical applications. As no global public-domain cover was available, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) decided to develop it, and make it available to the scientific community. Description Maritime Boundaries are important for many applications. In biogeography for example, a layer of EEZ-polygons could be used for the creation of species distribution lists per country. Up to now, there is no global public domain cover available. Therefore, the Flanders Marine Institute decided to develop an own database. The database includes two global GIS-layers: one contains polylines that represent the maritime boundaries of the world countries, the other one is a polygon layer representing the Exclusive Economic Zone of countries. The database also contains digital information about treaties. As the information, on which the database is based, is in most cases freely available over the internet, we are not planning to charge any money for the distribution of the data and are considering the database as an Open-Source project. Since Maritime Boundaries are a relatively new concept, there are still a lot of countries that didn't agree with their neighbours about their maritime boundaries; new treaties will be negotiated in the next years.

Seascapes Seascapes are defined as areas within a wider ecoregion within which there is some geographical or ecological distinctiveness, but over a smaller area that maybe more suitable for the application of management measures such as MPA networks. This dataset is originated from The Nature Conservancy (TNC). For more information about Seascapes, please click here. Download Dataset Seascapes Data Sources

Marine Ecoregions Ecoregions are defined as large areas containing geographically distinct assemblages of species, natural communities and environmental conditions. Eleven ecoregions are delineated, which will be used as the basis for conducting ecoregional conservation assessments to identify priority areas for conservation.

Coral Reefs Dataset on coral reefs comes from the UNEP-WCMC Biodiversity Map Library: Global Coral Reef Distribution. This dataset was compiled by digitizing coral reef locations from a large number of sources and maps. This global dataset is replaced with high resolution coral reef coverage from the Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project where available. The Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project (IMaRS, Univ. South Florida; P.I.: Dr. Serge Andréfouët), classifies and maps coral reef structures worldwide using Landsat data. This project is funded by NASA, and is an international partnership between numerous organizations and experts. Shown here are preliminary datasets of selected areas which have been classified into coral reef areas. The Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project uses a large number of reef types and subtypes in their classification efforts. In this application in ReefBase, those types have been aggretated into fewer and simpler summaries. Data Sources

Mangroves This data is provided by the UNEP-WCMC Biodiversity Map Library: Global Mangrove Distribution and The Nature Conservancy. Mangrove distribution was taken from a variety of sources used to compile the World Mangrove Atlas, which was prepared by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre as a joint project with the International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems and the International Tropical Timber Organization. Data Sources

Seagrass The seagrass dataset has been compiled by UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with Dr Frederick T. Short, University of New Hampshire, USA to show the global distribution of seagrass species. This dataset has been created from multiple sources and was used in the creation of the "World Atlas of Seagrasses" (2003). This polygon feature dataset is an update of the data used in the Atlas and is a unique data holding about the state of the world's seagrasses. For a complete overview of global seagrass distribution this dataset should be displayed together with the associated point dataset. Data Sources

Coral Bleaching Coral bleaching is a major phenomenon affecting coral reefs around the world. An initial database of bleaching observations was compiled by UNEP-WCMC using a variety of sources. This database has been expanded by ReefBase at the The WorldFish Center, using information from the ReefBase database, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), the CoralList, and other sources of information. This dataset also includes observations indicating no bleaching. Data Sources

Coral Diseases Data on occurrences of coral diseases originated from the Global Coral Disease database, by UNEP-WCMC. This database was compiled using disease observations and has been expanded by ReefBase using information from a variety of sources. Data Sources
