Bishop Museum Marine Specimens (Georeferenced) (OBIS Distribution)

This dataset represents a pre-filtered subset of the Bishop Museum Natural
History Specimen Data, as made available through the Bishop Museum (BPBM) DiGIR
provider. 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

these records are used in an analysis or report, the provenance of the original
data must be acknowledged and the BPBM notified. The Bernice P. Bishop Museum
