Building web-based information
tools and map servers to assist the
coffee sector in Latin America to
better market, source, and certify
specialty
coffee, provide trace-back
mechanisms, support environmental
monitoring, and in general provide
accurate and trustworthy information
required by the
market.
The GeoSUR Program aims to
develop adequate access
mechanisms tospatial information
in support of policy development
and decisionmaking in
South America.
A USAID-funded alliance
in two regions, Central America
and in the Caribbean, with
technical workshops on
geospatial technologies,
software donations and
implementations, the
distribution of spatial
data sets, and opportunities
for regional planning.
Mangroves forests occur
in the inter-tidal region
between sea and land in the
tropical and sub-tropical latitudes
and provide important
ecosystem
goods and services. The forests help
stabilize shorelines and reduce
the devastating impact of natural
disasters, such as tsunamis
and hurricanes.
