Supplemental Information | Data made accessible by OBIS-USA should be accessed via OBIS, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the OBIS-USA IPT, or the OBIS-USA Dataset Collection in ScienceBase. |
Purpose | OBIS-USA is national data asset lead by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with other Federal agencies including NOAA/IOOS, BOEM, NODC, and U.S. Navy. OBIS-USA is the U.S. regional node of the International Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). International OBIS is a global system comprised of a series of regional and thematic nodes that collaborate to provide access to marine biogeographic data. They follow international data standards and operational protocols to facilitate access to and interoperability of data. Scientists, resource managers, and policy makers can use OBIS data to understand species and ecosystems as well as to monitor, evaluate, and forecast change in our oceans. |
