Caribbean Marine Atlas Objective

Since 2013, Caribbean Marine Atlas Phase 2 (CMA2) has been working on the operationalization of spatial data information by creating an online digital platform to support Integrated Coastal Zone Management – ICZM and Ecosystem-based Management - EbM for the major Caribbean ecosystems – Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystems.
