We evaluate spatial planning trade-offs from using coral reef habitat data of differing accuracy. We compare reserves designed using high accuracy geomorphology vs finer detail benthic substrate. Accounting for mapping accuracy reduces the risk of missing conservation targets. Using fine habitat classifications with low accuracy leads to larger and more costly reserves. Coarse classifications are most cost-effective with low data costs and reduced impacts on fishers.
