The Atlas of the Lagoon is the result of interdisciplinary work by a scientific team involving many specialists working in universities and organisations which study the Venice Lagoon. It was created with the aim of disseminating knowledge about the lagoon's ecosystem among researchers, professionals, citizens and tourists.
The 103 maps available online (divided into 5 different sections: Geosphere, Biosphere, Anthroposphere, Protected Environments, Integrated Analyses) can be consulted trough webGIS, a web tool which allows users to search areas of interest and to print and download them directly from the Internet, with no need of any software to be installed.
