The New York Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Council (Council) is pleased to announce that 100 additional datasets have been added to the New York Ocean and Great Lakes Atlas (Atlas.) Launched on July 23, 2008, the Atlas is an online mapping program designed to provide New York citizens and decision makers access to spatial information about New York and its ecosystems.
With the additional information, there are now over 300 datasets available at WWW.NYOGLATLAS.ORG .
Layer names of new information added have been labeled in bold to help identify new data. Some of the information added to the Atlas includes: forest types, animal distribution and habitats, invasive species, recreational areas, wildlife management areas, ecoregions, impaired waterbodies, water quality monitoring, geology, groundwater, hydrography, watershed boundaries, sediment types, demographics, sewage treatment plants, etc.

All information available in the Atlas is provided in KML format, an open source format which can be opened directly in GoogleEarth. Data is also available in two professional GIS formats (ESRI Shapefiles and MapInfo Tab files.) Users may also bookmark and print maps directly from the viewer.

Periodic announcements will be made through this listserv regarding new information available through the Atlas.
