This dataset represents a pre-filtered subset of the Bishop Museum Natural History Specimen Data, as made available through the Bishop Museum (BPBM) DiGIR provider. The filter criteria for this dataset restricts the complete dataset to only organisms taken from marine environments, and only records that have geo-reference coordinates assigned to them. The data consist primarily of vouchered specimens in the Ichthyology, Marine Invertebrate, and Algae collections of BPBM.
Other marine records that are not yet included in the pre-filter, but will be added, include marine mammals, reptiles and birds. Also missing are marine malacological specimens, which will be added at a later time. more
