The Caribbean Regional Node for OBIS serves the Caribbean region, centralizing and curating the regional datasets. We also provide training courses and technical advise in the wider Caribbean, Central and South America in Spanish. The operative center is located at the Universidad Simón Bolívar, Caracas, Venezuela which partially supports the node as an academic activity.
