Survey sites locations

Locations of the 599 survey sites on 118 inshore reefs and 17 mid-and outer-shelf reefs of hard coral communities (Devantier et al., 2006). Seven coral community groups are distinguished (two of the regions contain deep and shallow groups); the community groups are:

• Far North Inner Deep and Shallow (FN-I-D & FN-I-S),
• North Inner (N-I),
• North Outer Deep and Shallow (N-O-D & N-O-S),
• Central Outer (C-O) and
• South Inner (S-I).

The vertical scale bar also indicates the relative distance along the GBR, ranging from 0 at the southern to 1 at the northern edge of the GBR World Heritage area.
