Ocean Tipping Points – Hawaiʻi Case Study
Ocean Tipping Points – Hawaiʻi Case Study
Posted June 16, 2017Data from the Ocean Tipping Points Hawaiʻi Case Study are now available for download on the PacIOOS website. The Ocean Tipping Points Project aims to support effective ecosystem-based management by providing resource managers and practitioners with tools to anticipate, avoid, and respond to coral reef change in Hawaiʻi and beyond. Ocean tipping points occur when shifts in human pressures or environmental conditions cause large, sometimes abrupt changes in an ecosystem. More than 40 data layers were developed, showing the influence of environmental factors and human-based activities on coral reef ecosystems across Hawaiʻi. Users can download data layers in various formats, find metadata, and explore all layers in an interactive map viewer. The project pages also offer information about the Hawaiʻi case study, its value, project findings, and partners involved in the study.
Various data layers from the Ocean Tipping Point Hawaiʻi Case Study can be viewed and downloaded.
