Coral reefs classified by coastal development threat (grid)

World Resources Institute 2011 Coral reefs classified by coastal development threat (grid) Reefs at Risk Revisited Washington, DC, United States World Resources Institute withheld 2011 Burke, L., K. Reytar, M. Spalding, and A. Perry. Reefs at Risk Revisited. (Washington, DC, USA: World Resources Institute, 2011). withheld rf_cd raster digital data Reef grid cells have been classified by estimated threat from coastal development. The threat to coral reefs from coastal development was modeled based on size of cities, ports, and airports; size and density of hotels; and coastal population pressure (a combination of population density, growth, and tourism growth). Values of 0 indicate low threat, 100 indicate medium threat, 1000 indicate high threat. The global indicators developed by the Reefs at Risk Revisited project enable comparative analyses of threats to coral reefs on many scales, and support conservation priority-setting. The Reefs at Risk indicators are a simplification of human activities and complex natural processes, but provide globally-consistent indicators of relative human pressure on coral reefs. The model relies on available data and predicted relationships but cannot capture all aspects of the dynamic interactions between people and coral reefs. The threat indicators gauge current and potential risks associated with human activities. A strength of the analysis lies in its use of regionally consistent data sets to develop globally consistent indicators of human pressure on coral reefs. However, the model is not perfect, and omissions and other errors in the data sets are inevitable. en 2011 publication date Complete None planned -180.000000 180.000000 89.999882 -89.999882 -20037508.342788 20037491.657212 -6363885.331926 6364114.668074 coastal development coral reefs coastal development world global None Data set is not for use in litigation.
