The dataset provides geotiff maps depicting coral growth and survival favorability in Guam and American Samoa under three climate scenarios, derived from various environmental factors. Scores between 0 and 1 indicate coral conditions, with 0 being the worst and 1 being the best, as detailed in the 2022 manuscript "Where favorable environmental conditions and resilient corals coincide: Guam and American Samoa".
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas, updated on a monthly basis, and is one of the key global biodiversity data sets being widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, International secretariats and others to inform planning, policy decisions and management.
