The Unified Reef Map is composed of information from different source maps that vary categorically or spatially. There are often discrepancies at the seams and where maps overlap. Interpretations of habitat types and boundaries may differ based on data sources used, methods (particularly mapping scale), and the interpreters themselves. In order to ...
Coral reef environments have distinct Zones (Figure 1) created by differences in depth, morphology, wave and current energy, temperature, and light. At a larger spatial scale, reef environments also differ based on their general geographic location – their Region (Figure 2). A benthic classification type may have distinctly different ecological com...
