Raster data representing the mean levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in E/m2/year for the surface water layer. The data are available for global-scale applications at a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin (approximately 9.2 km at the equator).
Marine data layers for present conditions were produced with climate data describing monthly averages for the period 2000–2014, obtained from pre-processed global ocean re-analyses combining satellite and in situ observations at regular two- and three-dimensional spatial grids.
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.
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.

This is a template that can be used when creating a State of Environment report, and sections can be added or adapted to fit a country’s needs.
SPREPs recommended template for individual indicators in national SoE reports. The full SoE template will be updated in the coming months.
State of Palau’s Birds. Koror: Belau National Museum 2014
Most atoll ecosystems and a wide range of terrestrial and marine organisms, and genetic or cultivars varieties of
traditional food and other multi-purpose plants are declining in abundance and under threat of either “economic extinction” or extirpation and in need of some form of protection. The severity of the situation is greatest on those more urbanized atolls where both the biodiversity and the local knowledge of biodiversity are threatened.
*see R Thanman pdf report for more information*
Terrestrial and marine plants and animals that are rare, endangered or in short supply,
and in need of protection in the atolls of the Pacific Islands.
This excel file include four spreadsheets each representing a separate theme (EMG = Environmental Monitoring and Governance, IOE = Island and Ocean Ecosystems, CCR = Climate Change Resilience, WMPC = waste). Within each theme are the core national environment indicators (scrolling from left to right).
Data on Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) includes information on Palau's forests 2013-2014. The Pacific Northwest Forest Inventory and Analysis (PNW-FIA) program measures and compiles data on plots in coastal Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and U.S.- affiliated Pacific Islands. Most data are available in Access databases and can be downloaded by clicking one of the links below. PNW data are combined with data from all states in the U.S. and stored in the national FIADB. Data for any state can be accessed on the national website (see links to national tools below).
