  abstract = {{A}nthropogenic and natural impacts threaten the sustainability of ecosystem services provided by the ocean and its coastlines. {C}oral reefs are an endangered and important component of the tropical realm. {C}oral reef science, management and conservation programs greatly benefit from habitat maps when they are available. {T}his study reviews the use of the {M}illennium {C}oral {R}eef {M}apping {P}roject ({MCRMP}), which hierarchically mapped since 2004 coral reefs worldwide using {L}andsat satellite multispectral imagery at 30 m spatial resolution. {T}racking in the scientific literature the impact of {MCRMP} products proved to be difficult because of frequent lack of citations (omission errors) and confusion with products that have integrated {MCRMP} data but degraded them (commission errors). {T}o categorize the applications, we selected 62 representative studies that unambiguously used {MCRMP} products. {MCRMP} products were used prominently to achieve new results in coral reef inventories; conservation planning; enhancement of biodiversity and fishery resource mapping, monitoring and modeling; connectivity and climate change modeling. {T}he products were also useful to map other ecosystems. {W}e evaluate the main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to {MCRMP} products. {F}rom this review, we also make recommendations and reflect more generally on the value of future global-scale mapping projects targeting specific ecosystems.},
