Description

Georeferenced database on the spatial properties of all individual shallow-water tropical coral reefs worldwide. The dataset was obtained by processing and analyzing the global-scale coral reef benthic data provided by the Allen Coral Atlas (ACA), a publicly available dataset of high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning-based coral reef classifications. 

The original data, already divided into different coral provinces, was segmented to identify the individual reefs of each province using a label assignment algorithm. This allows to analyze several spatial properties of coral reefs such as the size distribution, area-perimeter relationship, fractal dimensions and shape measures.

The dataset contains the following measures for each individual reef in each coral province:

  • Area (m²)
  • Perimeter (m)
  • Surface fractal dimension
  • Perimeter fractal dimension
  • Compactness
  • Diameter ratio
  • Distance to nearest reef
  • Longitude
  • Latitude
  • Geometry
