Mapping Bermuda's Coral Reefs

-

BREAM, as part of the Bermuda Biodiversity Project at BZS, has developed the most comprehensive maps of Bermuda's coral reefs and other marine habitats that exist. In this post we will describe how we mapped all of the 35,000 patch reefs in the North Lagoon of Bermuda. Our goal was to create a Geographic Information System (GIS) of all the reefs found around Bermuda. A GIS is a computerized map that also contains information about each object mapped. Computerized maps are better than paper maps because once you put all the information you know into the program, you can then ask it to tell you new information which the program can calculate based on what you told it. Some questions you can ask a computerized mapping programme are listed at the bottom of this post. Before we mapped the location of each reef into a GIS (also called a geo-referenced map database) , we needed a set of images of the entire Bermuda reef platform. The BBP, with assistance from the Dept. of Conservation ...

Bermuda. Bermuda Biodiversity Project #266 Link: Here Synopsis Coral reefs provide vital protection of Bermuda’s shores from storms, and attract the people who support Bermuda’s thriving tourism and international business economies. This report presents the findings of the second year of   comprehensive monitoring surveys of fish stocks and coral reef condition across the entire Bermuda Platform, since 2010, at 39 sites distributed across 4 zones: Inner Lagoon, Outer Lagoon, Rim Reef and 10-m Forereef, by the Bermuda Reef Ecosystem Analysis and Monitoring (BREAM) Long-term Ecological Monitoring (LTEM) programme. We used the newly developed IUCN GCRMN Caribbean reef monitoring protocol, and international standard for fish and reef monitoring. The GCRMN protocol focuses on va...
