TRIAP Franklin 2008 Waterbirds - Marine records, Northern Australia (1900-2002)

OBIS Australia Open in mapper Explore occurrences

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.

Note: The OzCoasts platform and associated data services have been decommissioned. Links to the former OzCoasts services have been removed where they are no longer available. For enquiries regarding archived OzCoasts datasets or associated files, please contact coasts@csiro.au
