Project Description
What is ZanSea ?
ZANSEA has two main objectives.

To develop a SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) for sharing data and knowledge over Coastal and Marine Areas on Zanzibar.
DATA
Zansea Project has capacity to create marine and coastal dataset such as vector layers, raster files and tabular data. Datasets will follow international standards for metadata.
MAPS
ZANSEA will create Maps and make them available to partners and general public. Maps produced will be: Administrative maps, Coastal Resources Map, Vulnarability Maps, and enviromental sensitivity Maps.
SDI
Our SDI is built with the most powerful open source geospatial components. datasets are stored in spatial DBMS (PostGis), webservices (WMS,WFS and CSW) are provided by GeoServer. These softwares are the guarantee of the interoperability of our system. Mobile and web mapping applications can easily be deployed to give responce to our partner needs.
PARTNERSHIP
The following institutions have been invited to join the partership: DOE, DOEM, DOEFNR, SUZA, TMA, ZAWA, ZCT, IMS, OCGS, Museum and antiquities. There could be more partners in the future. .
