Marine biological observation data from coastal and offshore surveys around New Zealand

Citation

SWPRON (2014). Marine biological observation data from coastal and offshore surveys around New Zealand. Southwestern Pacific OBIS, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Wellington, New Zealand, Online http://nzobisipt.niwa.co.nz/resource.do?r=mbis_nz https://doi.org/10.15468/pzpgop accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-05-21.

Description

Occurrence details of New Zealand marine fauna and flora from around the coastline and offshore. Information is assimilated from a variety of sources including unpublished data sets and digitised from journal articles. Where the source is from a published paper the source paper citation is listed at the record level.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Marine species occurrence data collated from research events along the coast and in New Zealand waters.

Sampling

Biological data was sampled in-situ using a variety of equipment such as trawls, pots, grabs, dredges, and beach surveys.

Quality Control

The scientific names have been mapped to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), using the online taxon match tool. All sampling locations have been plotted on a map to perform a visual check. The most important check would be to see if all sampling locations are (1) in the marine and/or brackish environment and (2) within the described sampling area.

Method steps

  1. Data was then assimilated from digital and non digital sources (such as journal publications, reports, work sheets) into a central dataset.
