ECO-DRR - Coral Reefs
EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure.
The ecosystem data-set contains area percentage of each considered ecosystem in a 100 square kilometer cell.
For a specific ecosystem, a 0.01 degree resolution raster of coverage real area is generated.
The quality of ecosystem in a 100 km2 grid cell is expressed as its area percentage, considering only cell ocean area for coral reef ecosystem.

This dataset shows the global distribution of coral reefs in tropical and subtropical regions. It is the most comprehensive global dataset of warm-water coral reefs to date, acting as a foundation baseline map for future, more detailed, work. This dataset was compiled from a number of sources by UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and the WorldFish Centre, in collaboration with WRI (World Resources Institute) and TNC (The Nature Conservancy). Data sources include the Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project (IMaRS-USF and IRD 2005, IMaRS-USF 2005) and the World Atlas of Coral Reefs (Spalding et al. 2001).
