Description: 
  Abstract: 
	The Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project (IMaRS, Univ. South Florida; P.I.: Dr. Serge Andréfouët), classifies and maps coral reef structures worldwide using Landsat data. This project is funded largely by NASA, and is an international partnership between numerous organizations and experts. 

Shown here are preliminary datasets of selected areas of coral reef which have been classified by reef depth. The Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project uses a large number of reef types and subtypes in their orginainal classification efforts. In this application in ReefBase, those types have been aggretated into fewer and simpler summaries: Deep Reef, Mixed Reef and Shallow Reef.
