Abstract
 The Caspian Interactive Map Service Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): Ian May, Phillip Fox The Caspian Interactive Map Service (IMapS) has been developed by UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with the Caspian Environment Programme (CEP) and the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) to provide accurate and up to date information on the location and status of the environment in the Caspian Sea region to local government, private companies, and community organisations within each of the Caspian's coastal provinces. The IMapS holds information collected from a variety of sources such as local and national governments, non-governmental and inter-governmental organisations and private companies on a diverse range of environmental subjects such as individual species of importance, habitats, threats, and socio-economic resources. The service makes use of ArcIMS 9 with several additional features to deliver this information dynamically over the Internet in a form that is usable by a variety of different people from field based environmental practitioners to high level policy makers.
