了解高度迁徙的海洋哺乳动物、海鸟和海龟物种所需的科学，不能通过针对单个区域或单个时间段开发的单个数据收集来充分解决。这些数据必须在一个连贯、可互操作和可公开访问的信息系统的基础上合并成一个共同的全球地图。国家海洋学伙伴计划(NOPP)和阿尔弗雷德·P·斯隆基金会在2002年共同发起一项直接解决这一问题的新努力时，明确阐述了这一需要。其结果是OBIS-Seamap：海洋哺乳动物、海鸟和海龟信息的世界数据中心。OBIS-Seamap将地理参考的分布、丰度和遥测数据与工具结合在一起，以便在动态和可搜索的环境中查询和评估这些物种。在2007年开始的第二轮NOPP支持中，国家科学基金会正在帮助将这一努力扩展到新技术和数据类型。迄今为止，OBIS-SEAMAP信息系统包括230多个数据集的220多万条观测记录，跨越73年(1935-2008年)，而且这一数据档案正在加速增长。所有这些数据都是由越来越多的个人和机构数据提供者组成的国际网络提供的。
The science needed to understand highly migratory marine mammal, sea bird, and sea turtle species is not adequately addressed by individual data collections developed for a single region or single time period. These data must be brought together into a common, global map based on a coherent, interoperable, and openly accessible information system. This need was clearly articulated by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation when they co-sponsored a new effort to directly address this issue in 2002. The result is OBIS-SEAMAP: the world data-center for marine mammal, sea bird, and sea turtle information. OBIS-SEAMAP brings together georeferenced distribution, abundance, and telemetry data with tools to query and assess these species in a dynamic and searchable environment. In a second round of NOPP support that began in 2007, the National Science Foundation is helping expand this effort into new technologies and data types. To date, the OBIS-SEAMAP information system includes more than 2.2 million observation records from over 230 data sets spanning 73 years (1935-2008), and growth of this data archive is accelerating. All of these data are provided by a growing international network of individual and institutional data providers.
