Using the Interactive Map

Using MERMAID Explore Using the Interactive Map

Explore’s map displays MERMAID survey data globally. Red circles indicate survey clusters. 

  • Navigate: Pan by clicking and dragging. Zoom using the +/- buttons, trackpad, mouse scroll, or by clicking on the red cluster circles.

  • Site Details: Click repeatedly on clusters to zoom down to individual site markets (dots). Clicking on a site marker opens the right-hand panel displaying detailed information for that specific survey site. This panel includes:

    • A Charts tab showing relevant visualizations for that site’s data.

    • A Metadata tab containing details like Project Name, Survey Date(s), Management Regime, Admins, Organizations, Reef Habitat, Data Sharing status, and Suggested Citation.
      Click on the X in the top-right corner of this panel to close the site-specific view and return to the overall summary metrics and charts.

  • Map-Based Metrics (Optional): By default, metrics update based on filters. To update metrics based on the visible map area instead, enable the Metrics update based on map view toggle (looks like a refresh icon ) next to the right-hand panel. Disable it to return to filter-based metrics.

Navigate the map by panning and zooming.
Click site markers to view detailed survey information, including charts and metadata, in the right-hand panel.
