How the Ocean Life Records screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
Recent marine species observations from OBIS, the Ocean Biodiversity Information System, key-less. The marine counterpart to the site's GBIF saver, and the only one of the two that routinely carries the depth an animal was recorded at.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
