This database allows you to (1) select and access records in the Global Coral Disease Database; (2) view map observations of different coral diseases over the UNEP-WCMC coral reef maps; (3) download the selected records to your own computer.

The key sections are:

• The significance of coral diseases
• A guide to the Global Coral Disease Database
• Instructions for using the coral disease mapping tool
• The coral disease mapping tool
• Coral Disease records cards
• References to papers cited on these pages
• Contribute your data to the database

This work has resulted from a collaboration between UNEP-WCMC and NOAA NMFS. The next stage of the project will expand the Global Coral Disease Database with unpublished records of coral disease. If you have observations of coral diseases then we would very much like to include your data in the Global Coral Disease Database. Please go to the data submission section to find out how you may be able to help us.
