This brief review is part of the USAID SEA Project on exploring how Allen Coral Atlas Data is being used to inform the stakeholders, researchers and managers to advance coral reef management and sustainable biodiversity protection particularly in Indonesia. In summary, the Allen Coral Atlas would be a welcome addition to the arsenal of support needed to adequately plan for and implement coral reef conservation in Indonesia. And, as noted, such efforts will involve multiple institutions and thus a challenge for the Allen Coral Atlas is to provide a user friendly interface that can truly serve the needs of Indonesia and its many institutions.
