Ocean Health Index: 2016 Global

Scores from the 2016 global Ocean Health Index (OHI) assessment and accompanying data and models. OHI scores were calculated for 220 countries and territories (described in OHI_regions_global.csv) for scenario years 2012 to 2016 (eez2012 to eez2016). Each eez folder contains: (1) scores.csv, which includes, for each region, an overall Index score and scores for the 10 goals (and 8 subgoals) that comprise the Index score. We also provide scores for the status, pressure, resilience, trend, and likely future status (calculated using status, pressure, resilience, and trend) dimensions which are used to calculate Index and goal scores; (2) layers folder, which includes the data used to calculate OHI scores for each region (layers_descriptions.csv provides a brief description, and see http://ohi-science.org/ohi-global/layers.html for complete description); and, (3) conf folder, which includes pressure/resilience matrices and the models (functions.R) used to calculate the status and trend dimension of each goal. The complete ohi-global repository (with all R code) is available from Github (https://github.com/OHI-Science/ohi-global/releases). The data and scripts used to prepare the data are available from Github (https://github.com/OHI-Science/ohiprep/releases). The R package used to calculate scores is also available from Github (https://github.com/OHI-Science/ohicore/releases).
