Coral Favorability: Overall Environmental Conditions: Present - Guam

The overall condition of the environment is a combination of managed and non-managed factors. While it is difficult for managers to prevent coral bleaching events, reefs experiencing fewer stressors may recover more quickly than reefs that were highly stressed at the time of bleaching. The scores for managed (see layer "gu_usgs_all_coralscore_mgt") and non-managed conditions (see layer "gu_usgs_all_coralscore_nonmgt") were averaged to produce an overall environmental favorability score. This layer represents a relative score for how favorable overall conditions are for coral growth and survival from a scale of 0 (worst) to 1 (best) in the present climate scenario. These data are provided for the island of Guam as a raster with a resolution of 1500 m.
