Putting the Story into StoryMap: Using StoryMap to Connect at 2016 WCC
Track: Conservation
Authors: Matthew Hasti, Chelsea Leto

StoryMap was used as an interactive exhibit for the 2016 World Conservation Congress. By using GIS, visitors could see the large areas Marine Monuments preserve and the vast distances between the National Wildlife Refuges located throughout the Pacific Ocean. This tool was a valuable presentation aid and allowed for self-exploration by visitors. The presentation focuses on how to organize your information into effective communication and how to use StoryMap as a vehicle to deliver that message.
