Make Marine maps Some suggestions

Make a map of the Lizard in Cornwall. Can you display the names of shipwrecks? Make a map of Skegness. Zoom out to see the offshore wind farms. Can you see how to display the boundaries of Licenced Areas for Oil & Gas or Wind Farms?

Make a map of Portsmouth Harbour. You may need to pan south a little to see the harbour mouth. Try and display Transportation and Routes on the map. Consider removing the Land Cover and Buildings to make your map clearer.
