For the Bay Islands coral reef areas were estimated from
1:150 000 prints of Landsat-5 TM images IPath/Row 17/i9.
15/4/94. Bands 2, 3, 4|, from 1994. There was no groundtruthmg on this work.
Offshore reefs and islands around the Cayos Miskitos have
been prepared from Hydrographic Office 119641. Most of data
from this chart actually date from a hydrographic survey of
1830-43, with additions from a US Government chart of 1927.
Although this chart does not feature large areas of reef directly,
reefs have been broadly interpreted from those few features
which are marked as reefs and from shallow submerged rocks
where these occur in areas of active reef development. Further
reef data are take from from Petroconsultants SA (19901*, and
from UNEP/IUCN |1988al'.

Coral reefs have been prepared for Costa Rica from IGN
(various dates!. For Panama, Caribbean reefs have been taken
from UNEP/IUCN 11988a]' at an approximate scale of
1:1 600 000, while Pacific reefs have been gathered at various
scales from Glynn and Mate (1997).

Coral reef areas are based on Petroconsultants SA (1990]*.

Coral reef and mangrove data were kindly provided by Tommy
Lindell. They are largely based on four Landsat TM images,
from 1985 and 1995, These have been extensively checked
against topographic charts, nautical charts, aerial photographs
and ground-truthing work. For the present map, coral reefs are
taken from the layers described as "corals" and "coral reefs ".
In some areas it was difficult to differentiate corals from
vegetation. These areas have been omitted. Further details about
this work are provided in Lindell 11997, 19991.

Locations of reefs for the north coast of Colombia are based on
Hydrographic Office 11990, 1991a, 1991bl. Sources for these are
US Government charts of 1938, 1977, 1986 and 1987, most of
which are largely based on earlier surveys 11935-38) with corrections from the 1 970s and 1 980s. For the offshore Isla de San
Andres, reefs have been estimated from an original map in Diaz
et al 11995a]. Similar maps, presented in Diaz et al 11995bl were
utilized to estimate reef areas for Courtown and Albuquerque
atolls. All three maps give detailed habitat summaries and reef
areas have been interpreted as all areas dominated by
hermatypic corals. For Isla Providencia reefs and coastline were
estimated from Hydrographic Office (1912). This chart does not
mark reefs, but reef areas have been estimated from reef
features marked as very shallow waters and submerged rocks
which clearly demarcate a reef structure. For the Galapagos,
locations of coral reefs have been taken from Glynn and
Wellington (19831. These are mostly very small structures.
