Please visit the corresponding NRMN Collection (IMOS - National Reef Monitoring Network Sub-Facility - Survey metadata) for the most current version of this data. See "Downloads and Links" section below.] This dataset shows the location of Reef Life Survey (RLS) sites surveyed by divers along 50m transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs, worldwide. Although surveys are undertaken as part of monitoring programs at particular locations (mostly in Australia), this dataset contains only spatial information, with repeat surveys of sites not included. Biological data (abundance of invertebrates and fish, habitat quadrats) collected from these surveys is available as separate datasets through the AODN Data Portal (https://portal.aodn.org.au/ - search for 'NRMN') This data has been superseded by the NRMN collection "IMOS - National Reef Monitoring Network Sub-Facility - Survey metadata": see https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/997c2e15-b345-438f-afac-49a4ac19be38 {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-180.0, -80.0], [180.0, -80.0], [180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, -80.0]]]} -180.0 180.0 -80.0 80.0 Community Ecology Marine and Estuarine Ecology (incl.
