The WDPA User Manual provides information and guidance about the data held within the WDPA, including its history, how it is collected, managed and distributed, and how it should be interpreted and used for analyses and research. The Manual has been prepared for WDPA data providers and users. It is structured in 4 sections and includes 6 appendices.
The Protected Areas Working Group (PAWG) of the Pacific Islands Round Table for Nature Conservation recommended a forum to better connect a diverse range of people and their work relating to protected and conserved areas. To increase efficacy with respect to gaining momentum with communications and conservation work, the Pacific Islands Protected Area Portal (PIPAP) was launched.
Metadata file for the GIS data (raster and shapefiles) for the global threats to coral reefs: acidification, future thermal stress, integrated future threats, and past thermal stress.
Metadata file for the GIS data (raster and shapefiles) for the local threats to coral reefs: coastal development, integrated local, marine pollution, overfishing, and watershed pollution.
CSV file containing the global distribution of hydrothermal vent fields in WGS84 coordinate system.
CSV file containing species richness values and mapping parameters for marine species (with a probability of occurrence > 0.5) derived from AquaMaps. A total of 33,512 species were used in the generation of this file.
Coordinate system is WGS84 (ESPG 4326) with coordinates expressed in longitude and latitude.
Fields in this file are:
C-Square Code: unique identifier for grid
Longitude: longitude in decimal degrees
Latitude: latitude in decimal degrees
Species Count: number of species modeled at given point
Excel file with spreadsheets for each species. Downloaded from TREDS May 2021.

In 2007, a total of 230 species found in Palau were listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resource (IUCN) Red List as vulnerable to some degree including 53 species listed as near threatened, vulnerable, or endangered 64 species listed as data deficient.
Calculated as Production (if any) + Imports - Exports
Koror and Airai have the highest populations in Palau with more development (roads, residential development and
industry). By comparison, Kayangel and Ngarchelong have small populations and very limited pollution. Loss of fish
catch from terrestrial pollution for Hatohobei and Sonsorol, two states with minimal population and negligible development, is assumed to be zero, and they are not included in the estimates.
Each value represents the number of dumping events observed on fishing vessels during the period 2003-2015
