Data and Statistics

CoRIS. NOAA. Coral Reef Base Information system.

NOAA Deep Sea Coral Data Portal

ReefBase
Gathers knowledge about coral reefs into one repository, facilitates analysis and monitoring of coral reef health and the quality of life of reef-dependent people, and support decisions about coral reef use and management. ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia.

Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity
Repository of ecological datasets and documentation available for download.
