OBIS Australia is the regional OBIS Node for Australia. Its aim is fostering the online provision of marine species data from the Australian region and adjacent seas, or data from Australian providers, into the OBIS international data network. These data can also be forwarded to GBIF and Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) on a case by case basis. The website describes our activities and related resources.
