MarineMap is an online decision-support tool that provides spatial information to the public and stakeholders engaged in the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) planning process. MLPA Initiative participants can access MarineMap over the Internet and utilize user names and passwords to access individual accounts. Using MarineMap, the public can view geospatial data layers compiled by the MLPA Initiative and overlay, or superimpose, two or more different maps of the same area to display information of interest. It also provides the capabilities to develop MPA concepts, as well as receive basic feedback on how well MPA arrays meet certain MPA design guidelines.
