Deconstructing maritime maps: revealing map-making choices through fishing and recreational boating By Juliette DAVRET L'Atlas Bleu / Exploring geo-technologies, cartography, critical GIS, fishing, recreational boating, spatial-temporal variability Critical cartography has shown that maps are not neutral, yet they are a decision-making tool. This article uses the cases of fishing and recreational boating to explore possible map-making choices. These two distinct maritime activities, which are complex to map because of their spatial-temporal variability, provide an opportunity to address a wide range of cartographic issues. Data exist to describe fishing, but have
