This dataset contains the marine ecoregions of the Global 200 ecoregions, a collection of the earth's most outstanding and diverse terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats where the earth's biological wealth is most distinctive and rich, where its loss will be most severely felt, and which we must protect if we are to preserve the web of life.
