Open in mapper Explore occurrences

OBIS Argentina (acronym AROBIS, Argentina Ocean Biodiversity Information System ) is an IODE ADU hosted in CCT CONICET-CENPAT, Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina. The node centralizes the information about the distribution of vertebrates and invertebrates from the coastal areas of Argentina and the continental shelf of the South-western Atlantic Ocean called the Patagonian Large Marine Ecosystem (PLME). It also integrates data about the distribution of resident vertebrates which emigrate to the Southern Ocean and the Pacific. At regional level AROBIS is presented as a functional precursor for Linked Open Data to improve the discoverability of the content of the databases.
