Full description This project involves preparing, publishing, and visualizing approximately 50 recently submitted datasets, making them available through the eAtlas and the AODN.

This proposal covers the activities of the eAtlas in 2015 (July - December). These are:

1. The eAtlas has approximately 50 datasets that were recently submitted for review that are awaiting preparation, publication and visualization. This project will complete the publication process for these datasets making them available via the eAtlas and with spatial datasets also being made available via the AODN.
2. Work with 1st round NESP TWQ projects to capture any new relevant data products for inclusion in the eAtlas and provide training sessions on providing data in the right format.
3. Support and continue training in the use of the Torres Strait eAtlas6 with Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) so it can be used as a publishing platform for their new Land and Sea Strategy NRM plans.
4. Work with TSRA to complete the Torres Strait reef mapping, started under the NERP TE, so that it can be used by GBRMPA to process the Torres Strait coral monitoring data (RHIS).
