Google Ocean bathymetry update - World Oceans Day

Saturday (2 days ago) was World Oceans Day. We made a small G+ post for it:

Google Earth: Revealing the Ocean on World Oceans Day!
Google Maps: On World Oceans Day, it's the perfect time to dive in and explore!



The text from the post and the image captions:

Here's a sneak preview of our work to improve our ocean map in

Data Center (http://goo.gl/zZpPB)
and the University of Colorado CIRES program (http://goo.gl/b3dGH).

Moegling says, "Within the Strait of Georgia, deep draft vessels
transit to several large refinery facilities. It's our job to provide
the mariner with the most accurate chart, with the most relevant
features and depths available for their safe navigation."
