A primary goal of Service at Sea is to help conservation organizations who are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to meet the goals of their communities. During our voyage, we’ll connect with communities, conservation groups, and anyone demonstrating GIS technology efforts to understand and improve the place they call home.

Specifically, we will be offering GIS training workshops, assistance, and possibly some data to groups who have GIS efforts already underway. Our premise is that access to current training is very difficult for most of the organizations we wish to serve, so we will bring it to them.

Soon we will post more information here about these efforts, and how, if you are an international NGO, you might request a visit from us. Stay tuned!
