    This App has the potential to be strong tool for creating collaboration and community through the rapid sharing of information concerning Marine Protected Areas. Bringing together people with diverse backgrounds, such as research or ecotourism with a common interest in conservation.

    Comment from Jim Barborak, Director, Center for Protected Area Management and Training at Colorado State University, Training, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1480. Phone: 970-491-2117 This looks very interesting. Using low-cost, user-friendly apps like Dos Mares to gather and disseminate information on all aspects of marine protected areas could potential play an important role to help strengthened research, resource management and protection, and tourism programs for the rapidly growing number of coastal and marine parks and reserves around the world.
