Majuro_Benthic_Habitats

Benthic habitat maps of the nearshore marine environment of Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands were created by visual interpretation of remotely sensed imagery. The objective of this effort, conducted by NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment - Biogeography Branch was to provide spatially-explicit information on the reef zones and habitat types of Majuro's coral reef ecosystem.
