Navigating marine biodiversity data collections

As marine ecologists, we all know the importance of comprehensive biodiversity data for conservation efforts. I recently came across the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and found their data quite rich for research. Has anyone else utilized it or other similar resources for specific projects? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips for tapping into these datasets effectively.
