Figure 3
Regional trends in coral cover between 1968 and 2004.
(a) White bars represent Indo-Pacific coral cover and open symbols (right axis) are the number of reefs surveyed each year. (b) Coral cover in ten Indo-Pacific subregions in each of three periods. Plotted values are means±1 SE and values above each bar are the subregional sample sizes. * = no data were available
