Description
The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have created a Global Coral Reef map covering 65,000 square kilometers that is available for free to the public. The dataset was collected over a 10-year period as researchers traveled to over 1,000 coral reefs in 15 different countries.
