Marine Sanctuaries in Google Earth

Ars Technica is reporting about a new layer for marine sanctuaries being added to Google Earth. To me, this is a perfect example of some of the issues Jesse, Sue, and I discussed in the podcast on data. More and more data – and much of it exceptionally scientifically rich, like this one – is making its way to the public via delivery mechanisms like Google Earth. Sites like Google Earth Outreach will help people find new sources of information and the platform can help people understand some of these complex issues more fully. If you’re interested in marine life specifically, or even a good example for distributing scientific data, then check out this new layer in Google Earth!
