Comprehensive Map and Data Collection for all four FSM States

This digital atlas is the most comprehensive geospatial data source available for the Federated States of Micronesia. You can find here the GIS data you need for any island in the nation's four states.

Introduction

The purpose and Potential of
This Digital atlas

  • INSPIRED BY THE
    DIVERSITY OF MICRONESIA

    This Digital Atlas covers islands spanning hundreds of miles across the Western Pacific. It provides access to data for any part of the region, from sun-drenched coral atolls to lofty peaks shrowded in clouds. People from every island will find information they seek about their home, complete with accurate place names in their own languages and spelling systems.

  • DESIGNED, CREATED, AND
    UTILIZED IN THE FSM

    Locally-relevant and locally-built, this resource was created in Micronesia for Micronesia. It is envisioned and initiated by the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific (WERI), created and maintained by Island Research and Education Initiative (iREi), and supported and promoted by the FSM Department of Environment, Climate Change & Emergency Management (DECEM).

Glimpse

Beauty Of the Islands Of the FSM

Magnificent reefs, lush forests, prolific gardens, and people who love their islands and live in tune with them
