Summary

This layer contains major coral reefs and atolls located around the world. This polygon file is intended for large scale thematic mapping and analysis.


Description

            

The spatial data were obtained from the Natural Earth website. The data originated primarily from the World Data Bank 2 with additions from other various sources. The data are suitable for making relatively generalized maps of countries and regions and are intended for use at a scale no larger than 1:10,000,000. Attributes were modified to include scalerank and type. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.
