Welcome to GoMMaP

The Gulf of Maine Mapping Portal (GoMMaP) is designed as a single point of access to Gulf of Maine maps that are available from organizations that utilize web mapping services. GoMMaP also serves as a resource for organizations that would like to contribute geographic data through web mapping services or add mapping content to a website.

GoMMaP is unique because it utilizes web mapping services to dynamically integrate multiple distributed on-line data sources into one or several map images. Web mapping allows data to be shared across organizations, platforms, and formats.
