Data come from a wide survey conducted through the projects' partners, literature review and past and active research projects. The database counts 285 observations falling in Italian, Croatian and International waters. The database is available in an unique CSV file, where each element is described by 51 parameters, including coordinates in decimal degrees (WGS84 coordinate reference system) and bottom depth in meters, so data is 3D.

The .csv file reports literature records belonging to the same reef separated by pipe ("|"), the .xslx file has an "id" field identifying the reef, and in the first tab each reef characteristics are reported, except litarature, in the second tab ids and corresponding literature are reported.
