to OBIS-SEAMAP
OBIS-SEAMAP
(http://seamap.env.duke.edu/) is an open access data center for marine mammal,
sea bird and sea turtle observations, the primary purpose of which is to
encourage collaborations and improve the understanding of these species by
making it easy to share and visualize biogeographic data with advanced mapping
and query tools. We are rapidly adding published datasets, developing new
tools and adding functionality to better serve the research and management
communities. Benefits include an off-site archiving service, multi-faceted
visualization of your data and increased visibility of your research program
while data providers retain ownership of their data. The event, useful
for both data providers and users, will include sections focusing on visual
survey data, as well as integrating photo-ID and acoustic data. You are invited
to participate as potential data providers and/or users of OBIS-SEAMAP.
