  • Cold Water Corals Global Distribution

    This dataset shows of the global distribution of cold-water corals. Occurrence records are given for 86 Families under the subclass Octocorallia (octocorals; also known as Alcyonaria) and four Orders (in Class Anthozoa): Scleractinia (reef-forming corals), Antipatharia (black corals), Zoanthidae (encrusting or button polyps), and Pennatulacea (sea pens). Occurrence records are also available for the order sub-Order Filifera (lace corals) in Class Hydrozoa. https://data.unep-wcmc.org/datasets/3

  • Coral Reef Presence

    Coral Reef Presence Area in SQFT

Social Data
  • EEZ Boundaries

  • Global Population Density

    Global population density raster data according to: https://landscan.ornl.gov/

  • Indicative Indigenous Land Rights

    https://www.landmarkmap.org/data-methods " Methods for community-level data Community-level data include locally defined boundaries of the lands that are held or used by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. These data were aggregated from numerous sources and data providers around the world and organized into a consistent global typology. Includes the following LandMark data layers: Indigenous Peoples’ Lands and Territories; Local Community Lands; Indicative Areas of Indigenous and Community Land Rights; Indigenous and Community Natural Resource Rights."

  • Indigenous Lands - Community Level

    Indigenous Land data from LandMark collected on a community level   https://www.landmarkmap.org/data-methods

Base Data
  • Exclusive Economic Zones

    https://pacificdata.org/data/dataset/global-exclusive-economic-zone-200-nautical-miles Global EEZ layer are the layers gathered from gazetted datasets that the Pacific Community (SPC) has received from the project countries. In areas where there are no gazetted datasets provisional layers are being sourced from the Global Marine Regions database (https://www.marineregions.org/).
