Supporting the sustainable management of coral reefs and mangroves by quantifying their economic value.

Raising awareness of threats to coral reefs and providing information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively.

Improving coastal resource management and coral reef protection by providing comprehensive information on threats to coral reefs, the value of goods and services provided by these ecosystems, and economic losses that will result from their degradation.

The CD contains all data used in the Watershed Analysis for the Mesoamerican Reef, with accompanying metadata as well as all of the model results.

Watershed Analysis for the Mesoamerican Reef

This analysis quantifies and maps the origins of sediment and nutrient runoff that threatens the Mesoamerican Reef. With it, WRI seeks to inform land-use planning, agriculture, conservation and threat mitigation efforts.

Análisis de Cuencas Hidrológicas en el Arrecife Mesoamericano

WRI cuantifica el sedimento y los nutrientes provenientes de 400 cuencas que descargan en el Arrecife Mesoamericano para apoyar planes de ordenamiento territorial, la agricultura, la conservación y esfuerzos de mitigación de amenazas costeras.

Land-based Sources of Threat to Coral Reefs in the US Virgin Islands

This atlas, developed by WRI and NOAA, provides a series of spatial indicators of watershed-based sources of threat to coral reefs in the US Virgin Islands.

Coastal Data CD for the U.S. Caribbean

This data CD was developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under their Reefs at Risk / Summit to Seas project collaboration. To order it please email reefsatrisk@wri.org.

Belize Coastal Threat Atlas

The Belize Coastal Threat Atlas contains detailed assessments and mapping of threats to coral reefs in Belize, along with analysis. The project uses a geographical information system (GIS) to visualize and analyze the relationship between human activities and coral reef health.

Belize Coastal Data CD

The Belize Coastal Data CD contains the range of data assembled and model results developed under the project (with metadata).

Arrecifes en Peligro en el Caribe

El proyecto ofrece los elementos necesarios para una mejor comprensión de la relacion entre actividades humanas y el condicion de ecosistemas arrecifales en el Caribe.

The Reefs at Risk in the Caribbean Data CD contains the range of data assembled and model results developed under the project (with metadata).

Reefs at Risk in the Caribbean
