Marine biological occurrence data managed by Ocean Biodiversity Information System USA (OBIS-USA) Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) updated on 2026-01-06 (NCEI Accession 0250940)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-01-09T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes marine biological occurrence data managed by the Ocean Biodiversity Information System USA (OBIS-USA). The data were observed between 1833 and 2025-07-23. These data were last updated by OBIS-USA on 2026-01-06 and were received by NCEI on 2026-01-09. OBIS-USA brings together marine biological occurrence data – recorded observations of identifiable marine species at a known time and place, collected primarily from U.S. waters or with U.S. funding. Coordinated by the Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS) program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), OBIS-USA, strives to meet national data integration and dissemination needs for marine data about organisms and ecosystems. OBIS-USA is part of an international data sharing network (Ocean Biogeographic Information System, OBIS) coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization) International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange. Federal coordination is done in collaboration with the participants of the ad hoc Biodiversity working group organized under the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Partnerships Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology.
