JPAT Internet Map Server
JPAT is partnering with The Nature Conservancy and USGS to provide a comprehensive online map service for browsing and querying all GIS data layers for Jamaica. Particular attention is paid to; a) terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats; b) human and socio-economic activities; and c) land and marine protected areas. Users have the ability to turn layers on and off, download GIS data, and do simple GIS analysis such as buffering and area calculations. The map server can be accessed here. For questions or comments about the site, please contact Steve Schill.
