GBIF occurrence records for Haemulon sciurus, mapped and tabulated by country.
47,726 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Haemulon sciurus through GBIF, from 38 countries or marine areas.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 47,726 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 30 of the 38 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 66 records in total (Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Suriname, French Guiana, Haiti, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines).
27 records plotting inland were omitted: for a marine species those are almost always the holding institution's coordinates rather than a collection site.
Records show where the species has been observed and reported, not a modelled range.
