Kenyan reef corals sampled in November 1990
Abstract in English
This dataset contains a taxonomic list of corals found at the Kenyan reefs (i.e. in Nyali, Bamburi South & North, Vipingo, Malindi) during a sampling campaign in November 1990. Corals were collected by snorkeling and SCUBA diving. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Melles, A. (1991). Taxonomic and sclerochronological studies of Kenyan reef corals.
