The African Marine Atlas project is developing partnerships with marine reptile
data providers. No reptile datasets are available for direct download, but three links are
provided to important online resources of reptile spatial data. These should be
investigated independently for distribution records and additional information. For
comprehensive data and metadata lists and links, please visit the African Ocean Portal and NASA's Global Change Master Directory.
