Protected Areas

The map below is interactive. Hover the cursor over a protected area for the name and links with information. Not all areas are linked yet. But I am working on expanding the amount of information here. Click the main image to download a larger picture (*.gif file; 63 KB). Scrol down for the Grouper Spawning Sites. For a more interactive version of the Protected areas map go to the mapserver.

This map is up to date only up to April 2005. I am constantly working pdated and corrected versions of this protected areas map which will be published through the mapserver. Look for it in September 2005.
