No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: Scarborough Shoal, South China Sea (15N 118E). One of the best photos to date of this shoal. This grouping of island reef photos is representative of the type of photos which our Earth observation group has been contributing to a database of reefs. This reef database is created and maintained by an international conservation group called Reefbase. The purpose of the database is to have a central location for researchers to access many of the different data sources available for reefs. It is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, and directly addresses priority actions of the International Coral Reef Initiative, now endorsed by 75 governments. The Earth observation photos will be included on their WWW and CDROM database which is in its 3rd edition. Their web site is //www.reefbase.org.
