The score is composed of 18 indicators which were weighted and combined to create the final resilience values. All indicator values are included in this dataset along with the final resilience scores. The information is provided within the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program’s 50m x 50m survey grid. Coastal managers in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) want to identify local coral reefs that may be resilient to long-term climate effects, as well as shorter-term chronic impacts, such as coral disease. Specifically, managers urgently need to know where the best reefs are located, and which reefs are most resilient to climate stressors and coral disease. This information will allow managers to better prioritize, evaluate, and target conservation actions. We are working with NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program, and the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources to assess the relative resilience of USVI coral reefs by: Compiling climate and coral reef spatial data layers into an online data visualization tool, mapping coral reef exposure to current and forecasted climate stressors, creating maps of localized coral sensitivity to climate stressors, and applying a spatial index to prioritize potentially resilient reef areas. These data layers and maps will be added to an existing USVI Digital Atlas, where they can be viewed with a comprehensive collection of environmental data for the territory.
