Ocean Conservancy Welcomes Ocean to Google Earth - New Tools Allow Users to Explore the Seas As Never Before

WASHINGTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 2, 2009— Today, Google announces the addition of Ocean to its Google Earth platform. The new feature connects users to the ocean as never before. To begin exploring Ocean in Google Earth follow this link: http://earth.google.com/ocean/.

"The ocean provides the oxygen we breathe, much of the food the world eats and drives the climate we need to survive - but it is still largely a mystery. We hope the addition of Ocean in Google Earth will inspire more people to explore the seas they depend on every day,” said Tom McCann, spokesman with Ocean Conservancy. "Submarines can go deeper than ever before, cameras can see further than ever before and now we can take people into the ocean as never before."

Through science-based advocacy, research, and public education, we inform, inspire and empower people to speak and act for the oceans.
