Fig. 1: Coral reefs in the WIO and 11 of its ecoregions were evaluated using the RLE.
From: Vulnerability to collapse of coral reef ecosystems in the Western Indian Ocean
The overall risk level for each ecoregion is shown (left) and for each criterion assessed: A, B, C and D (panels in upper right, see also Table 2). The outcome for the regional scale assessment (that is, the whole WIO) is given at the top of each panel. Coral reefs in the Somali ecoregion were not evaluated (NE). The ecoregion names and RLE categories hierarchy and colour codes used throughout the study are shown in the lower right.
