Figure 3

Median (grey, filled diamond) and 95% confidence intervals (grey horizontal bars) for the ecologically derived depth distributions. The ICUN89 global estimates of maximum depth (dark red, filled circles) and those derived for Acropora sp.90 (red, open circles) are given for comparison. Also plotted are the maximum depths for certain recorded at various locations: Jamaica75 (orange, filled squares); the Caribbean92 (orange, open diamonds); The Red Sea97 (yellow, filled triangles); the Coral Sea94 and Gulf of Thailand93 (yellow, filled circles); Reunion Island91 (green, filled diamonds); the Indo-Pacific96 (blue, open squares); Johnston Atoll92 (dark blue, open diamonds); Moorea, French Polynesia92 (dark blue, filled squares) and; the Great Barrier Reef95 (blue, filled circles).
