Welcome to New Zealand's
National Aquatic Biodiversity Information System (NABIS)
NABIS is an interactive web-based mapping tool. Users can map and display information about New Zealand's marine environment, species distributions and fisheries management. NABIS is provided by the Ministry of Fisheries.
You are now looking at the new .net version of NABIS. Not all functionality has been completed but over the next few months we hope to have it done, see What's New 09 October 2009 for more details. If you wish to use some of the functionality which is not yet included please go to 2004 java version of NABIS at w3.nabis.govt.nz. Please note that the data is no longer being updated on the java version so some layers will be out of date.
If you would like to give us feed back or have any questions about the site please email nabis@fish.govt.nz.
