Oxfordshire, UK, 15 September 2011 – SeaZone is significantly expanding the data available in its products, both in terms of geographical coverage and data features.
Data from hydrographic offices, research institutions, private companies and NGOs throughout the world is being incorporated into the SeaZone suite of products.
SeaZone sources datasets from definitive data providers, ensuring only official and accurate information is utilised in its products.
SeaZone’s flagship product, HydroSpatial, the first ‘off the shelf’ authoritative digital marine map, is undergoing a significant revamp. Many new themes are being added including:
Environment and Heritage, with data themes for habitats & biotopes, heritage & wrecks and protected site designations.
Tourism & Recreation, including bathing water quality data and dive sites.
Meteorology, Climate and Oceanography, including themes for climate change data, oceanographic data and tides & tidal currents.
Fisheries and Aquaculture, incorporating data such as port vessels and port vessel landings, fishing surveillance data, shellfish waters and harvesting areas.
