Western Australia Benthic Type Reference Sample

This benthic reference data is intended for use as a calibration and/or validation data for global scale remote sensing image based classification of coral reef areas. The data is in a vector shapefile format consisting of polygons labelled with one of seven coral reef benthic classes that include Microalgal Mats, Coral/Algae, Rubble, Rock, Seagrass Dense, Seagrass Sparse, Sand. Please cite data as: Borrego-Acevedo, R., Roelfsema, C., Canto, R., Harris, D., Kennedy, E., Kovacs, E., Lyons, M., Markey, K., Murray, N., Ordonez Alvarez, A., Phinn, S., Roe, M., Say, C., Tudman, P., C., Wolff, J., Yuwono, D., Bambric, B., Fox, H., Lieb, Z., Asner , G., Knapp , D., Li, J., Harris, B., Larsen, K. & Rice, K. 2021.
