GBIF occurrence records for Hippocampus reidi, mapped and tabulated by country.
2,727 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Hippocampus reidi through GBIF, from 43 countries or marine areas.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 2,727 of the 2,727 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.
47 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.
