Such a tool would indicate regulatory information and also practical ecosystem information. Simple questions, like is there a stream or wetland on your property; are there species at risk on your property. This kind of approach could be used for marine applications as well. |

| 8. | Sun, 9/23/07 3:27 AM | I think we need a tool to actively promote two-way information flow to all those with a vested interest in marine ecosystems (i.e., all life as we know it on the planet). |
