A short history of OBIS…
• 2000 - 2010: created as data repository and information dissemination system
for the Census of Marine Life
• 2009: adopted by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of
UNESCO, under the IODE programme (IOC Resolution XXV-4)
• 2011: secretariat moved from Rutgers University to Ostend, Belgium

OBIS contributions to the CBD EBSA process
In 2010, the CBD Conference of the Parties (COP, decision X/29, paragraph 36) asked IOC, through its OBIS, to provide scientific and technical support to the CBD secretariat in convening a series of regional workshops on EBSAs
OBIS – Supporting data system for the First World Ocean Assessment
Atlantic Herring(Clupea harengus)
Global distribution records showing first records appearing in North Atlantic after 2010. OBIS provides an important signal detection capability, indicating needs for further research and investigation.
From Tom Webbunpublished analysisShows the number of genbank sequences plotted against number of records in OBIS for approx. 80,000 species common to both databases. Darker blue indicates a higher intensity of points.
Indicates potential of future work for data association between biogeographic data and genetic data.
