Ocean Biographic Information System

Just stumbled on this site and was quite in awe regardign the amount of data recorded there. OBIS is an amazing online database with an über-powerful search engin to learn more about marine species (i.e. where and when can I see hammerhead-sharks).

With our evolving OBIS database repository, users can identify biodiversity hotspots and large-scale ecological patterns, analyze dispersions of species over time and space, and plot species’ locations with temperature, salinity, and depth.
