Using Full or Large Sets of AquaMaps Data
We strongly encourage partnering with the AquaMaps team for larger research projects or publications
that would make intensive use of AquaMaps to ensure that the limitations of the data set are clearly
understood and addressed, and that critical maps and/or unlikely results are recognized as such and
double-checked for correctness prior to drawing conclusions and/or subsequent publication.
The AquaMaps team can be contacted through
Rainer Froese (rfroese@geomar.de) or Kristin Kaschner (Kristin.Kaschner@biologie.uni-freiburg.de).
Disclaimer
AquaMaps generates standardized computer-generated and fairly reliable large scale predictions of marine and freshwater species.
Although the AquaMaps team and their collaborators have obtained data from sources believed to be reliable and have made every
reasonable effort to ensure its accuracy, many maps have not yet been verified by experts and we strongly suggest you verify
species occurrences with independent sources before usage. We will not be held responsible for any consequence from the use or
misuse of these data and/or maps by any organization or individual.
