EVS-Islands: Barim Island YM

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

The above image tells the story. Barim Island (aka Parim Island and Jazirat Mayyuun) is located at an extremely busy strait. This entrance and exit from the Red Sea allows for the uninterrupted flow of oil into Europe. The island is controlled by Yemen. It is interesting that this island was once under the control of the British when Yemen was Aden.

This strait is called Bab-el-Mandeb and is reputed to be one of the busiest maritime passages in the world. Wikipedia has some good information on the passage.
