Holy Crap.
"Established by the Census of Marine Life program in 2001, OBIS-SEAMAP is a consortium of organizations and individuals who share a vision to make marine biogeographic data freely available over the World Wide Web. OBIS-SEAMAP is an interactive, online digital database of marine mammal, seabird and sea turtle data. The global database includes observations made from line transect surveys, photo-identification work, shore-based counts, strandings and satellite telemetry."
"We currently host over 2.25 million records from 237 datasets on the global distribution of marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds, including large datasets such as the European Seabirds at Sea database (ESAS)."
Pretty awesome. Zoom in on a place, click a dot to see how many species are recorded there, click the number for further species details, click a name to get all records of that species globally. This is awesome!
Well, ok, awesome if you're me.
