Marine Environmental Watch Cloud GIS Prototype

This web site visualizes marine environment information provided by Japan, China, South Korea, and Russia on a map for the purpose of grasping the current state of the marine environment in the NOWPAP region. Currently, based on the information provided, we have created and released a map of potential eutrophic zones and seagrass distribution in the NOWPAP region.
