This year SECOORA showcased their interactive maps during GIS day, November 18, 2014 at University of South Florida St. Petersburg. SECOORA teamed with member organizations, such as FWRI, to educate children in middle and high school about real-world applications of GIS.
Students learned how to navigate SECOORA’s Interactive Regional Map, Marine Weather Portal, Biological Habitat/Physical Data Viewer, Beach Water Quality Model and the newly released Climatology Tool. We look forward to participating again next year.
