SIBIMAP





Develop an online tool for management of
information on species conservation and MPAs.
Provide an interface for mapping of biological
and environmental data
Provide date for regional cooperation in marine
conservation
System is based on a Google Earth apps.
This project has collected published and
non publish data available, for public use.
