MarineMap is an impressive Google Map mashup of the California coastline and marine protected areas (MPAs), with a large number of features which manages to include a massive amount of data. MarineMap’s numerous data layers which can be turned on or off, selected by a Data Layers window. Clicking on the '+' symbol to the left of each layer name reveals further information about that layer, such as where it originated. The stated aim of MarineMap is to assist organizations involved in mapping of the oceanographic, biological, geological, chemical, and human dimensions of the ocean and coastal areas. They provide organizations with customized solutions for data storage, data sharing, and web-based mapping. The 1999 Marine Life Protection Act directs the state of California to design and manage a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in order to, among other things, protect marine life and habitats, marine ecosystems, and marine natural heritage, as well as improve recreational, educational and study opportunities provided by marine ecosystems.
