Where Pinkfish has been recorded
GBIF occurrence records for Holothuria edulis, mapped and tabulated by country.
2,645 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Holothuria edulis through GBIF, from 43 countries or marine areas. This page maps those records and lists where they come from. Occurrence records reflect where people have looked as well as where the species lives, so well-surveyed coastlines are over-represented.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 2,645 of the 2,645 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 43 of the 43 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 0 records in total.
48 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.
