Research Project
Full description The XL Catlin Global Reef Record is a research tool aimed at collating and communicating the coral reef science of the XL Catlin Seaview Survey and combining that information with data from other leading sources of ocean research. This free database povides scientists across various disciplines of marine studies with a tool for analysing the current state of the reef ecosystems on a local, regional and global scale and monitoring changes that occur over time. It has been designed in partnership with scientists from the Global Change Institute at The University of Queensland with additional data and analysis from World Resources Institute, SCRIPPS and NOAA. This data is important for the future conservation and management of coral reefs and will encourage global engagement with reef health issues.
