BalticDiversity: Towards transboundary access of nature observation data.

About the project

The project will develop a transboundary network of national data bases for connecting nature observation data from the major natural history museums and collections of Estonia, Finland and Sweden, for promoting the use of these data in decision-making in nature conservation, research and education, as well as by the general public interested in nature.

Interactive online information service with species lists and species distribution plots over the Central Baltic Sea region will be made available for the public.
