Quality

Species identification accurate, assessment of species rarity is done with local species experts and is as accurate as possible given the current state of species information. Occurrence location data for populations of rare species of anadromous fish and marine birds are included for a jurisdiction (an Atlantic province plus Labrador) only if the species is determined to be rare in that jurisdiction. Data for occurrences of rare species of marine mammals is included for the Bay of Fundy only. Data are usually requested by species or by location (e.g., at a given locale or within a specified area, the identification of all rare species present)

Recognize the limitations of data in OBIS (see http://www.iobis.org/data/policy/disclaimer). Data users are advised that ACCDC data does not provide a conclusive statement on the presence, absence or condition of rare species in any part of Atlantic Canada. The ACCDC makes a strong effort to verify the accuracy of all the data it obtains, generates and manages, but it will not be held responsible for inaccuracies in data that it provides. Data accuracy is qualified as to the date of the survey from which the ACCDC compiled the rare species data into its databases.
