The eAtlas delivers its mapping products via two Web Mapping Services, a legacy server (from 2008-2011) and a newer primary server (2011+) to which all new content it added. This record describes the legacy WMS.
This service delivers map layers associated with the eAtlas project (http://eatlas.org.au), which contains map layers of environmental research focusing on the Great Barrier Reef. The majority of the layers corresponding to Glenn De'ath's interpolated maps of the GBR developed under the MTSRF program (2008-2010).
This web map service is predominantly maintained for the legacy eAtlas map viewer (http://maps.eatlas.org.au/geoserver/www/map.html). All the these legacy map layers are available through the new eAtlas mapping portal (http://maps.eatlas.org.au), however the legends have not been ported across.
This WMS is implemented using GeoServer version 1.7 software hosted on a server at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
For ArcMap use the following steps to add this service:
Note: this service has around 460 layers of which approximately half the layers correspond to Standard Error maps, which are WRONG (please ignore all *Std_Error layers.
This services is operated by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and co-funded by the MTSRF program.
