"The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is a global network of ocean observing systems led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. NOAA's U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) is a part of this global network. GOOS has developed Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) to help harmonize data that is collected across various ocean observing systems around the globe. The [GOOS Biology and Ecosystems Variables](https://goosocean.org/what-we-do/framework/essential-ocean-variables/) are focused on the abundance and distribution of specific groups of aquatic organisms that are important for ecosystems. \n",

"The [IOOS Marine Life Data Network](https://ioos.github.io/marine_life_data_network/) has developed [lists of biological taxa](https://github.com/ioos/marine_life_data_network/tree/main/eov_taxonomy) and their identifiers (in this case, aphiaIDs) that can be used to query published biological occurrence data in the [Ocean Biodiversity Information System](https://www.obis.org/) (OBIS).\n",

The lists established for this notebook are not comprehensive and serve as an example for how one could organize AphiaIDs to programmatically query OBIS for appropriate data.\n",
"\n",
"OBIS uses the [World Register of Marine Species](https://marinespecies.org) (WoRMS) to provide a taxonomic backbone for all of the records in the database, and WoRMS only contains marine species. Therefore, the lists developed by the IOOS Marine Life Data Network leverage the taxonomic scope of WoRMS to perform high-level queries without requiring a detailed list of every species of seabird, for example. Once a query is complete, users can begin analyzing OBIS occurrence data to assess the abundance, distribution, and other characteristics of the taxa in these BioEco Variables.\n",

"Because you used the AphiaIDs to search for all families and genera of known mangrove species, you can be assured that you have all of the mangrove data currently published to OBIS. This could be repeated for any of the other lists of AphiaIDs for BioEco EOVs. This is a beginning step to many possible analyses.\n",
