# PacificMap

A spatial data exploration tool for everyone

[PacificMap ](https://map.pacificdata.org)is a platform developed by [CSIRO Data61](https://data61.csiro.au) and the [Pacific Data Hub (PDH)](https://pacificdata.org) in collaboration with the [Pacific Community (SPC)](https://spc.int), as part of the Asia - Pacific Data for Development Initiative (D4D). The PacificMap is a platform for map-based access to spatial data from 22 Pacific Island Countries and Territories. It aims to lower the barrier and enhance access to timely, relevant and useful data for government and non-government organisations, research and academic institutions, businesses and communities throughout the Pacific.

The platform brings together geospatial datasets from the Pacific Data Hub catalogue sourced from SPC's technical divisions and its member countries. Data is also sourced from a number of development partners and other publically available sources which provide spatial data from the Pacific.

Use the interactive features of the PacificMap platform to produce maps and create compelling impact stories. From remote-sensed geospatial to statistical time series data, PacificMap enables the analysis of public and private geospatial data at global, regional, national and subnational data.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pacificdata.org/pacific-map.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
