Ocean Biodiversity Information System

OBIS strives to document the ocean's diversity, distribution and abundance of life. Created by the Census of Marine Life, OBIS is now part of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, under its International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) programme

OBIS致力于记录海洋生物的多样性、分布与丰度。由海洋生物普查项目创建，OBIS现已成为联合国教科文组织政府间海洋学委员会（IOC）国际海洋数据与信息交流（IODE）计划的一部分。
