UN Publishes Marine Atlas

Posted by michael on from the free-willy dept.

person-0.9a writes "To quote the first paragraph of the BBC story: "The UN is publishing an online atlas of the world's oceans to combat their unsustainable exploitation." You can read the BBC story, the CNN story, and view the atlas here." Hmmm, my DNS server doesn't like oceansatlas.org, but maybe it just hasn't updated yet.

      Whoops, it was updated on the 6th, apparently just 2 minutes ago. Sorry about the typo.
