An Index Organized by 10 Public Goals

Evaluated globally and by country, these 10 public goals represent the wide range of benefits that a healthy ocean provides to people. Each countrys overall score is the average of its 10 goal scores. Overall scores and individual goal scores are directly comparable between all countries. All scores range from 0 to 100.

Due to standardized usage in interactive mapping, the Web Mercator projection has been selected to display Index data. The advantage of Mercator Projection is that it is the only projection to show true compass direction, so a line drawn Southeast on the map will also be Southeast on the earths surface. The disadvantage is that countries and areas nearer to the poles appear disproportionately large e.g.Northern Hemisphere countries in Europe and North America appear larger than they actually are.

The OHI results are shown on the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of each coastal country, an area that extends 200 nautical miles (370 KM) offshore from the countrys coast. For countries with multiple and separate coastlines, EEZs were grouped based on country, latitude, habitation, and ocean basin. When a goal is not relevant to a specific country, no value (N/A) is shown and that goal is not included in calculation of the countrys overall Index score. Results were not calculated for the high seas (international waters) or for Antarctica.

Country Scores Breakdown

Present Status Trend Pressures

EACH GOAL IS EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF FOUR DIMENSIONS.

Resilience

Present Status
Present Status is a goal's current value (based on the most recent available data) compared to a reference point.

Trend
Trend is the average percent change in the present status for the most recent 5 years of data.

Pressures
Pressures are the sum of the ecological and social pressures that negatively affect scores for a goal.

Resilience
Resilience is the sum of the ecological factors and social initiatives (policies, laws, etc) that can positively affect scores for a goal by reducing or eliminating pressures.
