Integrated Local Threat Level for Coral Reefs (2011)

The health of coral reefs is threatened from many nearby human activities. This dataset describes the threat posed by the following nearby activities: coastal development, marine-based pollution, watershed-based pollution, and overfishing and other destructive fishing practices. This dataset expresses these threats via an index of low, medium, high and very high threat severity at a 1 km resolution.

The dataset was created at the World Resources Institute (WRI) as part of the Reefs at Risk Revisited study and represents threats for the year 2011. The coral reef location dataset used was based on 500 meter resolution gridded data reflecting shallow, tropical coral reefs of the world. Organizations contributing to the data and development of the map include the Institute for Marine Remote Sensing at the University of South Florida (IMaRS USF), Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), United Nations Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), WorldFish Center, and WRI.
