Thank you for participating in and contributing to Eyes of the Reef. Reports are used to alert the Hawai‘i Division of Aquatic Resources of potential threats to coral reefs around the state and provide information that informs potential intervention actions if necessary.
All reports are available to the public in the map dashboard embedded and linked above. This product provides location information, photos, and survey responses tied to each report so that users can look for reports they or others have submitted. This dashboard allows users to filter reports based on island, reporter category, and report type. In the top bar, you can also filter by Agency, Organization, School or Institution, Company, or date range. Additionally, clicking on individual entries on the left of the dashboard will take the user to that location on the map as well as show the report survey responses. All identifying information will not be viewable through the dashboard for anonymity. If you would like more information on individual reports, please contact us.
