Description:
Reef polygons classified by estimated threat from marine-based pollution and damage. The indicator of threat from marine-based pollution and damage was based on the size and volume of commercial shipping ports, size and volume of cruise ship ports, intensity of shipping traffic, and the location of oil infrastructure. Values of 0 indicate low threat, 100 indicate medium threat, 1000 indicate high threat.
