Coral Reef Mapping

The first global map of tropical shallow water has been created through joint effort of NASA and NOAA. Nearly 44,000 SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor) scenes collected over five years were processed to 1 sq.km cells by NASA Space Flight Center using algorithms developed by NOAA for water shallower than 20-30 meters. NOAA is working with the UNEP World Consdervation Monitoring Centre to use this data set to improve the database of coral reef locations used in ReefBase. See More...

Description

The SAMUDRA Monographs deal with MPAs in Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa and Tanzania. They examine the legal framework for MPA design and implementation, and document and analyze the experiences and views of local communities, particularly fishing communities. They also suggest how livelihood concerns can be integrated into the MPA process by engaging local, particularly fishing, communities, as equal partners in the planning and execution stages.
