    • Coral Favorability: Overall Environmental Conditions: Worst Case Emissions - American Samoa

    Metadata Updated: October 6, 2023

    The overall condition of the environment is a combination of managed and non-managed factors. While it is difficult for managers to prevent coral bleaching events, reefs experiencing fewer stressors may recover more quickly than reefs that were highly stressed at the time of bleaching. The scores for managed (see layer "as_usgs_tutma_coralscore_mgt") and non-managed conditions (see layer "as_usgs_tutma_coralscore_nonmgt_rcp85") were averaged to produce an overall environmental favorability score. This layer represents a relative score for how favorable overall conditions are for coral growth and survival from a scale of 0 (worst) to 1 (best) in the future climate scenario for a worst case emissions scenario (Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5), in which no action is taken to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. These data are provided as a raster with a resolution of 500 m for American Samoa, including Tutuila and the Manua Islands (Ofu, Olosega, and Tau).
