Bishop Museum Marine Specimens (Georeferenced) (OBIS Distribution)

The filter criteria for this dataset restricts the complete dataset to only organisms taken from marine environments, and only records that have geo-reference coordinates assigned to them. The data consist primarily of vouchered specimens in the Ichthyology, Marine Invertebrate, and Algae collections of BPBM.

Other marine records that are not yet included in the pre-filter, but will be added, include marine mammals, reptiles and birds. Also missing are marine malacological specimens, which will be added at a later time. Data have been made available online with support from the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) of the U.S. National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) BPBM data records may be used by individual researchers or research groups, but they may not be repackaged, resold, or redistributed in any form without the express written consent of a curatorial staff member of the BPBM.
