How Does Your Country Compare?
*The estimate of a goals likely near-term future status is a function of four dimensions: Status, Trend, Pressure, and Resilience.
Current Score
The current score of 40 indicates that many countries have potential to improve sustainable harvests of natural products, either by eliminating overharvesting, increasing harvests that are too low, or reducing the pressures that decrease potential harvests.

How Is It Measured?
Present Status
Present Status is a goal's current value (based on the most recent available data) compared to a reference point.
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.
Pressures
Chemical Pollution
Pressures are human-caused stressors that influence both ecological and social systems, negatively affecting the ability of a goal to deliver its benefits to people.
Nutrient Pollution
Alien Species
Ocean Acidification
UV Radiation
Status
Coral Reefs Harvest
Status refers to the current value of a goal relative to its goal-specific reference point. The reference point is the best condition for a goal that can reasonably be achieved; it is a target to aim for when taking actions to improve ocean health.
