Interactive map of the sea kraits (Laticauda sp.)

In 2016 we published a paper in ZooKeys where we aimed to provide a free database of sea kraits that can be further used for ecological and ecological studies. In the meantime, I have uploaded the occurrence maps on google maps and display them there, for those interested to better visualize their distributions.
