What resources are available? We encourage data users to read the Manual of marine and coastal datasets of biodiversity importance as an introduction to the various challenges, gaps and limitations which can be presented by coastal and marine datasets, and particularly by those at the global scale. This manual also provides a list of 128 known datasets, database, and data portals containing marine and coastal data of biodiversity importance (Annex 2, pp. 32-42). If you have suggestions of how this manual could be improved, or of additional marine and coastal data sources, please contact Lauren Weatherdon and Corinne Martin.
