<b>Tanzania Coastal Sensitivity Atlas (TanSEA)</b><br>
<br>
This may be of interest to those involved in Coastal mapping
projects.<br>

<br>
From the map page it is possible to view and download Acrobat Pdf
versions of each of the 37 map sheets (A1 size) at 1:50,000 scale.
Click on the + sign (right hand side) to switch on/off Google layers
and some point/photo data.<br>
Unfortunately the pdf files are a mixture of raster and vector data
so the quality varies as you zoom in. There is a contact page, so
it may be possible to request access to the GIS files, see quote
below.<br>
<i><font color="#000099">"The research and output maps have been
prepared by a team of experts from the Institute of Marine
Sciences (University of Dar es Salaam), OBSCOM (Paris) and
Samaki Consultants Ltd. (Dar es Salaam). The long-term goals of
the TanSEA project are to establish a comprehensive and accurate
coastal GIS data system for Tanzania, for oil spill contingency
planning and research. It may also be used for education, as
promotional material and for use by other institutions in
Tanzania that require detailed geo-referenced data on the
coastal zone."</font></i><br>
