Coral

Ok never found enticing data, tbd on this. - anyone got cool coral data

Working on incorporating jupyter notebooks and R markdowns.

This is a post about coral reefs. Marine biology!

I plan to find some data about corals, perform some exploratory analysis and take it from there.

Potential Questions:
  • Where are coral reefs located globally?
    • Biomass
    • Diversity of life
  • Where are reefs located that are at risk
    • Bleaching events
    • Environment data
    • Temperature
    • Weather
    • Ocean Characteristics

Starting with a precursory Googled list of data resources:
  • NOAA Coral : https://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/crtr/data_resources.php
  • CoRIS Coral Reef Information System : https://www.coris.noaa.gov/
  • ReefBase GIS : http://www.reefbase.org/gis_maps/datasets.aspx
  • Data.gov Coral Reefs Global : https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/coral-reefs-global
