Course Overview:

When: July 26- August 4, 2009

Where: Marine Protected Area of Capo Rizzuto - Crotone, Italy

The course organized by Mappamondo GIS in collaboration with the Capo
Rizzuto Marine Protected Area, represents a unique training initiative
that offers the chance to learn Geographic Information Systems and
Remote Sensing methodologies while becoming a certified SCUBA diver in
the context of marine environment management and science.

Participants are introduced to the underwater world through PADI Open
Water Diver and specialty courses, and to GIS through leading ESRI
authorized classes. The skills gained are put into practice on a real
case study concerning marine habitat mapping from remotely sensed
images and finding associations among biotic and abiotic components
using GIS.
Marine fauna and flora, habitat and GIS data are collected in the
field while SCUBA diving or snorkeling.

The course is at its 4th edition. It will be held from the 26th of
July to the 4th of August in the Capo Rizzuto Marine Protected Area,
Crotone - Italy.
