REEF LIFE EXPLORER MAP | Explore the health of reef ecosystems around the world

CHANGE YOUR VIEW

Toggle between the three maps to go from the birdseye view down into local reef systems to see changes in reef health over time.

EXPLORE THE INDICATORS

You can switch between indicators, within each map view, to see what factors are impacting reef health, and how different areas are faring.

DIVE INTO THE DATA

As you explore the map with your cursor, the dashboard will display the data relevant to the area.
