Gis manager. 2020. TRIAP Franklin 2008 Waterbirds - Marine records. Data downloaded from OBIS-SEAMAP (http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/103152501) on yyyy-mm-dd and originated from OBIS (https://obis.org/dataset/92430db9-eccc-4b53-a7d0-1d89250bff4f)

Abstract

As part of the Tropical Rivers Inventory and Assessment Project (TRIAP), a database of 94,148 waterbird records was assembled, comprising 82,596 records from the TRIAP area and 11,552 records from a surrounding 10 km buffer. These records were sourced from databases for Atlas1 and Atlas2 provided by Birds Australia, 99.1% of which are from the Historical Atlas (pre-1977), the first Field Atlas (1977-1981) or the second Field Atlas (1997-2002).
This version is all records where the taxa have been catalogued in the World Register of Marine Species and therefore are potential marine species.

Supplemental information
