Northern Geomantics Develops Census of Marine Life Maps
 AUGUSTA, ME - Northern Geomantics, in partnership with the Island Institute of Maine, is producing the first series of biophysical maps in support of the Gulf of Maine Program for the Census of Marine Life. These maps are designed to clarify and highlight hypotheses and issues for marine resource managers, and are part of a larger ten-year effort to assess marine life in the world's oceans. The maps created by NGI reveal the interactions and biodiversity of marine life in the Gulf of Maine, including humpback whale migration between the Gulf of Maine and the Caribbean, the relationship between red tide and the Eastern Maine Coastal Current, and lobster larvae distribution in coastal Maine waters. Northern Geomantics is combining disparate data from state and federal sources in the US and Canada into cohesive maps to illustrate hypotheses about the state of marine life in the Gulf of Maine. Northern Geomantics' expertise in marine-based GIS, its ability to accurately process and integrate data in a variety of formats, and its high-quality cartography insure that these maps will clearly characterize some of the many Gulf of Maine issues facing marine resource managers. See the finished product. |

 NGI Begins Conservation Mapping Website AUGUSTA, ME - The Maine Department of Conservation has awarded Northern Geomantics a contract to develop an ArcIMS website which will make available much information commonly requested by DOC customers. For example, owners of property in LURC jurisdiction will be able to locate their parcels on a map and determine which LURC zones it falls within, website visitors will be able to locate lumber mills throughout the state, and people interested in acquiring publications from Maine Geological Survey will be able to find all MGS publications available for any area of Maine. |
