Unlocking Ocean Biodiversity: Insights from Under-Sampled Marine Regions

Explore the vast and often under-sampled ocean realms, where significant biodiversity and scientific data await discovery. This comprehensive synthesis includes over 5 million records and nearly 50 thousand scientific names across various marine ecosystems. Highlighting critical projects such as the Census of Marine Life and collaborative efforts in nearshore, continental margins, abyssal plains, and ice oceans, we delve into the habitats of diverse marine species. Join us in understanding the complexities and conservation needs of our oceans through innovative techniques and multidisciplinary research.
