(Sent this last week, but suspect it never got through as I never got a copy
back!)
Users will be pleased to know that, as of this week, the World Conservation
Monitoring Centre has placed some 150 maps of coral reefs onto the Web.
These are the same maps which are in ReefBase Version 1.0 (although they are
georeferenced in the latter and can thus be linked to other data). The maps
include simple bathymetry, mangrove and coral reef data. All are fully
referenced and users are asked to look at these references as an integral
part of the maps!
http://www.wcmc.org.uk:80/marine/data/
Other marine data on this site include lists of marine protected areas by
country and other marine statistics.
Please note that our Coral Reef Mapping Initiative and ReefBase are ongoing.
If you are able to supply better, newer, or more detailed information please
contact myself (for maps) or the ReefBase team in Manila (e-mail:
reefbase at cgnet.com). I hope this information is useful and look forward to
your comments.
Cheers
