The United Nations will soon publish the Atlas of Earth Oceans on the Internet. This atlas will feature 14 global maps of all the Earth's oceans, from which more detailed maps can be accessed. Data on overfishing, loss of coastal habitats, and the status of coral reefs appear here.

In addition, the website will feature maps of world ice sheets, waterways, earthquakes, volcanic activity, background look and many other specific topics.

They say that it will be a website that is constantly renewed and that in this way it will be a good tool to obtain the data of the moment. They say that with this data we will be able to know what measures should be taken to protect the fish stock, marine biodiversity and the climate of the world's oceans.
