Data updates

 

Field Operations layers renamed and "Hubs" added. 

What were called Compliance layers are now called Field Operations to reflect organisational changes.

A new layer has been added and this shows the three main Field Operations 'hubs' that determine the areas of responsibility for regional management.  The country is divided into North, Central and South:

Behind the scenes we are working on a new map control so zooming and panning around the map will be much nicer to use. 

The Deed of Settlement areas are to be updated and the Hector and Maui dolphin stranding database is to be loaded.  We will we continue to add and update other map data.
