Viewing Summary Metrics & Charts

The right-hand panel dynamically shows Overall summary metrics and charts based on your applied filters (or map view, if enabled). (Note: For details on a specific site, click its marker on the map as described in Using the Interactive Map).

  • Overall Metrics: See totals for Surveys, Projects, Countries, Transects, and the Survey Year Range based on your current selection.

  • Aggregate Charts: These charts show the distribution of all surveys within your current selection (filters/map view) across value ranges or categories for key metrics. They provide a high-level snapshot, including surveys conducted at different times within the same site. Aggregate charts include:

    • Hard coral cover (%)

    • Fish biomass (kg/ha)

    • Bleaching severity (categories)

    • Habitat complexity score (0-5)

  • Time Series Charts: These charts specifically show trends over time for key metrics within your current selection, helping you identify changes and patterns. Time series charts include:

    • Benthic cover (%)

    • Fish biomass by management regime (kg/ha)

    • Bleaching severity (categories)

    • Habitat complexity score (0-5)

  • Interacting with Charts:

    • Hover: Move your mouse cursor over bars or /points on the charts to see exact values. For aggregate charts showing averages (like Hard Coral Cover), the hover often displays a range representing the average value +/- one standard deviation, giving you a sense of the variability around the mean.
