Järviwiki:Tietoa palvelusta/en

<languages />__NOTOC__<div class="left-66">Lake-seawiki (Järvi-meriwiki in Finnish) is a web service which is built and maintained in cooperation by authorities and common people. In Lake-seawiki there is basic information on sea areas and each Finnish lake over 1 ha in extent as well as tools for sharing ie. observations and pictures. The first version of Lake-seawiki was announced in March 2011.

Lake-seawiki was created with the aim of sharing information on Finland's lakes and the sea, to raise awareness and promote the protection of our waters. The idea is to do this together, with a positive attitude and non-judgementally.
