This site is organised into three sections: Data Overview, Maps and the Service area.

MAPS
Available now: MEDITERRANEAN, BLACK SEA

The maps focus on a medium sized unit of the world, such as an individual Sea. The environmental issues facing such a region are introduced. Detailed information on environmentally sensitive sites is provided. Interactive maps of the region also display protected areas, individual species, social information (eg. roads, towns and airports) and oil industry information. Databases and textual descriptions of the sites and species back up the mapped information in plain English. The sources of the data can be validated through the meta-database.

Any of the data sets for any area of the world can examined using the interactive map viewer. Data can be downloaded for use in oil spill models and at local crisis centres. Contacts information is also maintained in this section.
