National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) Applications

The Data Centre is a central assembly and management point for much of the CSIRO's vessel-collected (ship) data collected since 1985, plus related datasets such as those collected via moored instrument arrays (moorings) in the Australasian region.

Some guides on what is available are at https://confluence.csiro.au/display/IDC/IDC+Help

OBIS Australia node

OBIS Australia marine species data is published to OBIS via the CSIRO NCMI IPT harvest point.

The OBIS Australia node also includes data from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC) IPT

Additional contributions to public data would be appreciated. Please contact IDC using the Data request form

ARMADA

The application has been designed to aggregate and then identify data within Key Ecological Features as part of a NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project but it is also applicable to any other regions such as Australian Marine Parks or the GBR.
