Allen Coral Atlas
The Allen Coral Atlas is a global mapping and monitoring platform that provides high-resolution data on coral reefs and associated coastal ecosystems, including seagrass habitats. Developed through a partnership of scientists, universities, NGOs, and private organizations, the Atlas supports conservation practitioners, researchers, local communities, and governments by providing actionable spatial information to improve understanding of seagrass and reef ecosystems, inform marine spatial planning, and guide effective conservation and management efforts.
CAMRIS Seagrass Dataset
This data contains information about the distribution of seagrass around the Australian coastline.

Ocean Central by Wave
Ocean Central by Wave is an online platform that provides access to scientific information, data visualizations, and resources on ocean ecosystems and their conservation. Guided by the scientific framework outlined in Rebuilding Marine Life, co-authored by Carlos Duarte and colleagues, the platform showcases the ecological functions and restoration potential of marine habitats, including seagrass ecosystems, and supports informed decision-making for ocean conservation and sustainable management.
Seagrass Watch
Hosts the Global Seagrass Observing Network, an ongoing global seagrass monitoring effort that collects data from 408 sites in 21 countries.
UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre – Global Seagrass Database
Hosts the Ocean Data Viewer, which offers a range of spatial datasets collected by a range of internationally respected scientific institutions and organisations that have made their data available to the global community, with the hope that these data will support and encourage informed decision-making that sustains global biodiversity and ecosystem services. There is a dedicated dataset for the global distribution of seagrasses.
GBIF - Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international network and data infrastructure that provides open access to biodiversity data from around the world.
IUCN Red List Spatial Data
The IUCN Red List Spatial Data provides global distribution maps for dugongs and assessed seagrass species.
Ocean Health Index
Uses a comprehensive framework to measure ocean health from global to local scales. The Index measures the global state of the world’s oceans. An Index score for 220 countries & territories, the Antarctic region, and 15 sections of the high seas, is calculated using existing global data. Data is provided by country/territory and by a range of components (e.g. artisanal fishing opportunities, coastal livelihoods and economies, biodiversity etc.) including global carbon storage and seagrass datasets.
The Nature Conservancy Blue Carbon Explorer
The Nature Conservancy’s Blue Carbon Explorer provides spatial datasets on coastal carbon stocks and sequestration across blue carbon ecosystems, including seagrass habitats.
Coral Reef Funding Landscape
Explores international funding allocations for the sustainable management of coral reefs and related mangroves and seagrass ecosystems. Use the Seagrass filter option to discover current and historic global funding efforts, including details of total project cost, spatial and temporal scale, donors, beneficiaries and thematic area. https://coralfunders.com/.
