The aim of this data portal, which was established in the framework of the BioFresh project , and further developed under the Freshwater Information Platform (FIP) , is to enable freshwater biodiversity data publishing and to increase the visibility of such data. The data portal, together with other FIP publishing options, forms a unique freshwater biodiversity data hub.
Currently, the portal provides access to authoritative global species lists through FADA as well as to occurrence data mobilised during the BioFresh project, through follow-up activities, and harvested from Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) . Results can be displayed either as occurrence points or in density grids.
Please be aware that – with the exception of the FIP metadatabase components – developments after 2014 have focussed on publishing and attracting new data, which have been published on the FIP Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) and are now included in the GBIF network, while the database underlying this website has not been updated.
