The Boston Harbor islands site makes use of search and geo-spatial visualization for making data on islands in the Harbor easily accessible. Because a lot of the information is geared more towards scientists than lay persons, NPS, the Mitchell Center, Slickfish and Yellahoose worked hard to make a great user interface and work flow.
Database and visualizations tools are part of a larger initiative by the Mitchell Center to build upon existing technologies to create a series of inter-related web portals focused on environmental research, sustainable development and water quality in the Gulf of Maine and the northeast U.S.
The site and its information management and visualization systems are hosted by Packawhallop.
