COINAtlantic has partnered with four organizations in Atlantic Canada to improve the accessibility of marine biological data. The data from these organizations is being prepared for harvesting by the Ocean Biogeographic Information System, a sister project to ICAN in the IODE program. The vehicle for making the data available to OBIS is the OBIS Canada  Integrated Publishing Tool (IPT).

COINAtlantic has developed a tool that inspects the public entries in the IPT and generates an OGC compatible web mapping service, a layer for each data set, and a KML entry for the COINAtlantic GeoContent Generator (coinatlantic.tools/cgg).
