The datasets are integrated, allowing seamless search and mapping by species name, higher taxonomic level, geographic area, depth, time, and environmental parameters. OBIS originates from the Census of Marine Life (2000-2010) and was adopted as a project under IOC-UNESCO’s International Oceanographic Data and Information (IODE) programme in 2009.
Collectively, they have provided over 45 million observations of nearly 120,000 marine species, ranging from bacteria to whales, from the surface to 10,900 meters depth, and from the tropics to the poles.
