Relative climate resilience scores (unitless) for coral reef habitats in the U.S. Virgin Islands at the 50 x 50 m resolution. Scores are derived from a suite of indicators incorporating biological, climatological, and physical attributes from St. Thomas/St. John.
The US Virgin Islands (USVI) Coral Reef Resilience Prioritization project identified coral reefs and underwater habitats in the USVI that may have high resilience properties and potential to withstand current and forecasted climate change conditions, such as thermal stress, increased wave action, and coral disease outbreaks.
