The webGIS of the project EcoSea was published

The Abruzzo Region, responsible of the technical and specialised assistance within the EcoSea project, IPA Adriatic Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013, entrusted the Istituto Zooprofilattico dell'Abruzzo e del Molise "G. Caporale" (IZSAM) the implementation of the information layers related to fishery and the use of the sea.

After the collection, validation and digitalization, the data are now publicly available on the geographic information system based on the web at the following address http://mapserver.izs.it/gis_ecosea/, and the internet site of the Pesca Marittima della Regione Abruzzo http://www.regione.abruzzo.it/pesca/index.asp

Due to the variety and completeness of the information collected, this system represents the first digital tool used to support knowledge and planning of the future use of the sea (concessions, restricted areas, bathing, management of the fleet and fishing, civil and military waste disposal, etc.)

The webGIS will be soon presented to the stakeholders during a special Regional Conference on Fishery at the International Centre for Veterinary Training and Information (CIFIV) in Pineto.
