Petition Signature Map
Welcome to the signature map for the petition Stop the shark cull. Here you may browse various locations provided by signers and view where signers are geographically clustered. Please note that our maps do NOT identify any particular signer, nor are they intended to. The maps are simply designed to give a geographical overview of supporter interest. We offer an embedding service to various authors, so in some cases it may be possible to embed the following map on your own webpage or blog. Just contact the petition's author at the link above to request the map code.

GoPetition's signature maps are powered by Google Maps. We use a special application of Google Maps known as MarkerClusterer which collects signature markers into different clusters and displays the number of markers in each cluster with a label, creating new clusters as the map zoom level changes. Signature maps at GoPetition can be used for a variety of purposes, electoral and otherwise. Map information provided should be read in conjunction with GoPetition's Privacy Policy.
Google Maps (formerly Google Local) is a web mapping service application and technology provided by Google, that powers many map-based services, including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder, Google Transit, and maps embedded on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. According to one of its creators (Lars Rasmussen), Google Maps is "a way of organizing the world's information geographically".
