PART II: REPORTS FOR INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES 1. INTRODUCTION Part II provides more detailed coverage of the status and trends of coral reefs in individual countries and territories with references to all the compiled sources of data. Each report contains 6 sections in a standardized format. 1. Geographic Information: Provided by the World Resource Institute (WRI) including length of coastline, land area, maritime area, local population size, reef area and number of MPAs. Updated statistics are included for certain countries based on research contributions. 2. Map of individual surveys: The maps indicate the location of survey data for corals and macroalgae only, based on geographical coordinates of individual studies. Points on the maps are numbered to correspond to a table listing data sources. Points are distributed at or near the actual geographic location with one label per buffered area. This labeling system is employed to avoid overlap and ease readability. Thus, the number of labels per dataset does not reflect the number of samples in that dataset, only the rough position of the surveys in a given area. Some map codes in the table are not always present in the map due to missing coordinates or other crucial metadata. Location labels correspond to those defined by this study. 3. Data sources: Summary tables listing all data sources with locations, survey dates, and numbers of years of data for percent cover of corals and macroalgae, density of Diadema, and numbers or biomass of fishes. All data provided to GCRMN staff with information on these metrics are included in the table. 4. Status and trends: This includes graphs of average changes in coral and macroalgal cover, abundance of Diadema, and biomass of parrotfishes and groupers based on quantitative surveys. Results presented are for depths 0-20.9 meters and are averages by dataset and location. LOESS smoothers were applied to the data, which is a weighted linear regression that incorporates adjacent values into the fit. The detail and number of the graphs depends on the geographic extent of each country and the amount of data available. Each data point is displayed with a number or letter corresponding to the map code in the table of data sources. Data for all four variables were not always available or usable from every country, in which case no graph is presented. The Caribbean regional average of each variable is drawn as a light gray line through every figure. Regional trends in coral and macroalgal cover exclude data collected from random stratified sampling programs that surveyed non-reef habitats. This was not an issue for Diadema abundance and fish biomass, 112 STATUS AND TRENDS OF CARIBBEAN CORAL REEFS: 1969-2012
