PacIOOS Voyager Released for all U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands
PacIOOS is excited to announce that ocean enthusiasts, researchers, resource managers, and the general public now have a new interactive online mapping platform with the release of "Voyager" (http://pacioos.org/voyager).
Voyager allows ocean users to dynamically combine, view, download, and query thousands of data layers across the Pacific for free. This powerful, yet easy-to-use interface serves as a decision-making portal at all levels- from the individual planning a fishing trip to a region facilitating large-scale planning efforts. Voyager hosts a wide array of geospatial data. Data overlays of recent, historical, and forecast data are available, and both dynamic and static data sets are included. PacIOOS welcomes user feedback on incorporating additional data. For a live demonstration of Voyager, join our webinar titled "Introducing the PacIOOS Voyager"on October 29, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. (Hawaii Standard Time) and October 30, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. (Chamorro Time). During the webinar, attendees will learn about the different ocean data layers and functionalities within Voyager. Click here to register for the webinar. Upon registration, you will receive email confirmation with additional information about the webinar.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly at melissa.iwamoto@hawaii.edu or (808) 956-6556 with any questions about the Voyager and how to use it.
Happy map making!
Aloha,
Melissa
