This site is based on a concept developed by S. Steiner in 2007 for compiling the "gist" on the distribution and condition or marine habitats in the Caribbean Island of Dominica, see www.itme.org/mhdm. A similar, albeit smaller, initiative was carried out in Nicaragua (www.itme.org/nicaragua) and named SIPIAM. Additional information on the concept are summarized in a report by Steiner and Molina 2012, that was presented at the I Congreso Iberoamericano de Gestión Integrada del Litoral GIAL) in Cádiz, Spain.
