Marine Biodiversity by Ocean Area – Ocean Biodiversity Information System
Listed in unescodata
Marine biodiversity indicators for ocean areas worldwide — exclusive economic zones, high seas (ABNJ) and ecologically significant areas (EBSA) — built from Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) the IOC-UNESCO global marine biodiversity database.
Description
For each area it summarises how many species and taxa have been recorded, the volume of observations, the share of IUCN-threatened species, and the time span of records, helping researchers, policymakers and the public assess and compare marine life across regions and support ocean conservation and SDG 14.
