Summary of species occurrence data from 1900 to the present for Australian marine species organised by IMCRA region and CAPAD protection status. Counts are provided by species and IMCRA region for:

1. The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence inside the region
2. The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence within CAPAD 2020 protected areas inside the region
3. The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence within the protected areas under indigenous management within the region The first count includes all records in the second count and the second count includes all records in the third count.

Occurrence records were aggregated and organised by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/) and include survey and monitoring data collected and managed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/).
