This webinar highlights a Case Study from the California Channel Islands. With a goal of advancing collaborative conservation, we spearheaded a data sharing system for the Channel Islands off the coast of California and Baja California, Mexico. By sharing data and standardizing collection practices, we are moving toward more effective conservation across these unique and vulnerable islands. Cal-IBIS provides a blueprint for information sharing in other conservation regions.
