The Atlas combines advanced satellite imagery, aerial photography, and data from hundreds of research dives into the first-ever high-resolution coral reef ecosystem maps of many of Bahamas reefs. In 2011, scientists and divers from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, Bahamas National Trust, the Department of Marine Resources, The Nature Conservancy, the National Coral Reef Institute, and the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment Program joined forces to complete comprehensive scientific surveys of Bahamian reefs including Cay Sal Bank, the Inaguas, and Hogsty Reef. This is first of the underwater Atlases published from the world’s largest coral reef study, the Global Reef Expedition, which was launched in The Bahamas in 2011"--Summary.
