Species Distribution Map

Discover how species are distributed across Aotearoa New Zealand using this map.
Red zones or ‘hotspots’ show areas with the highest abundance compared to all records for that species from different times and locations.

Discover if the species you have found is common or rare, more common in the north or south. Red zones or ‘hotspots’ show areas with the highest abundance compared to all records for that species from different times and locations. Finding a northern species in southern waters may suggest that increased water temperature is extending their southern range.

Please note that the absence of a species in a region, may be due to the lack of surveys that have been completed for that region. The data you collect through this project is going to help fill in the blanks!
