Hope Spot Information Platform
Beyond180 is creating a unique information platform for Mission Blue to support their Hope Spot initiative. Using ArcGIS Online as a geospatial foundation, Beyond180 have developed a federated system of record for the Oceans with an array of operational tools and reports to allow Mission Blue and its Partners and Stakeholders to manage and promote a global network of ocean Hope Spots.
The aim is for all interested parties, including an increasingly informed public, to share this platform and to be able to generate and share highly useful information in the form of maps, web sites, and other forms of reports and actionable intelligence for local action and education, for government and political hearings, social media outreach, and general awareness campaigns.
The Hope Spot Information Platform provides Mission Blue with an IT foundation in it's quest to conduct a global campaign to attempt to save the Blue (and therefore the Green) part of our Planet.
