ReefBase: A Global Information System on Coral Reefs
http://www.reefbase.org/

ReefBase, a comprehensive Web portal for information on coral reefs, is
presented by the World Fish Center based in Malaysia. Intended for use
by
reef managers, scientists, and the general public, ReefBase aims to
"facilitate better understanding of the interdependence between humans
and
coral reefs, in order to benefit management and conservation efforts of
these important resources." ReefBase provides information on coastal and
marine resources, coral reef threats, resource management practices,
maps
and photos, references, and more. Users can quickly search for
information
organized by country or territory using a convenient dropdown menu.
ReefBase
is frequently updated; one recent addition is a status report for coral
reefs of the southwestern Indian Ocean. This site is also reviewed in
the
May 2, 2003 _NSDL Life Sciences Report_. [RS]
