Freshwater Biodiversity Information Management System (FBIS)
A comprehensive platform developed to host, visualize, and share critical biodiversity data for South African rivers, supporting conservation efforts and resource management across multiple sectors.
Description
The Freshwater Biodiversity Information System (FBIS) is a platform for hosting, visualising and sharing freshwater biodiversity information for South African rivers. The system accepts and serves data on species occurrence, abundance and associated habitat parameters, for freshwater algae (under development), invertebrates and fish, and offers powerful spatial and temporal data filtering functionality designed to cater for a range of end users, including water resource managers, biodiversity / conservation managers / planners, researchers and consultants.
The FBIS platform is funded by JRS Biodiversity and South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and implemented by the Freshwater Research Centre (FRC) and Kartoza.
