Data Quality
Accuracy: |
unconfirmed records of observations from historical sources | Quantitative Value: Unknown | Quantitative Test Explanation: none |
---|---|
Horizontal Positional Accuracy: |
none; Quantitative Value: 0.0 meters, Test that produced the value: none |
Vertical Positional Accuracy: |
none; Quantitative Value: 0.0 meters, Test that produced the value: none |
Completeness Report: |
Observations record only where surveys have been conducted. Absence of an observation should not be interpreted as absence of corals. |
Conceptual Consistency: |
These records were obtained from historical sources and are not confirmed or validated |
