Reefs at Risk Revisited (Social Vulnerability Data)
This shapefile features the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) for 108 coral reef countries and territories classified according to an index of their reef dependence, adaptive capacity, and social vulnerability. Results are presented as quartiles, with 27 countries/territories classified in each of...

Featured Aqueduct Global Flood Risk Maps
For the current scenario, we used hydrological data from 1960 through 1999 for generating flood inundations for 9 return periods, from 2-year flood to 1000-year flood, and 2010 GDP, population, and land use data for assessing flood impacts. For future projections, we used 5 GCMs (Global Climate...

Bleaching observations (1963-2010)
This dataset was used as base data in Reefs at Risk. Point locations of reported observations of coral bleaching between 1963 and 2010. This dataset was built upon an original bleaching database developed at UNEP-WCMC, and has been maintained and updated regularly by ReefBase since early 2002.

Global Map of Threat of Blast or Poison Fishing
This dataset was used as base data in Reefs at Risk. Map of blast and poison fishing (1 km grid) was developed for use in the Reefs at Risk Revisited project as a component of the model of overfishing and destructive fishing pressure on coral reefs. This layer designates threat of blast and...

Marine Protected Areas in Coral Reef Regions of the World
This dataset is part of the base data used for Reefs at Risk Revisited. To assess the level of protection and management for coral reefs around the world. The map of MPAs and associated management effectiveness scores were used to adjust pressure from overfishing and destructive fishing in the...

Tropical Coral Reefs of the World (500-m resolution grid)
Global map of shallow, tropical coral reefs, gridded at 500-m resolution for use in the Reefs at Risk Revisited project. The coral reef location data were compiled from multiple sources by UNEP-WCMC, the WorldFish Center, and WRI. To standardize these data for the purposes of the Reefs at Risk...
