🌊 Seas the day!

Today at #LivingData2025 GBIF and @obis.org renewed their Joint Strategy for Marine Biodiversity Data which enhances collaboration between OBIS and GBIF nodes and facilitates opportunities for training and aligned documentation.

Rudolf Meier paraphrases a post from @rdmpage.bsky.social : as ~ 2/3 of the records in GBIF are birds, @gbif.org is primarily a Global Bird Information Facility. To correct this bias, we need to focus on the “ugly” biodiversity. 🪰 🪱 🪳 🦟 @mfnberlin.bsky.social #LivingData2025 x.com/rdmpage/stat...

Our data integration work between the EMODnet themes continues..

Pues sí, después de casi 7 años en @vliz.be trabajando en
@eurobis.bsky.social y @emodnet.bsky.social, hoy comienza mi aventura en el equipo de GBIF España! 🤩🤩

Que ganas de seguir aprendiendo, construyendo y participando en una gestión de datos de biodiversidad de calidad con @gbif.es 🥳🥳

So, there they are, the @marinespecies.bsky.social top-ten marine species of 2024!
