Invasive Species

California Non-native Estuarine and Marine Organisms (Cal-NEMO) Database
Cal-NEMO provides information on introduced marine and estuarine invertebrates and algae with established populations in California. The database contains brief overviews of species and taxonomic groups to detailed records on the history of spread.

Marine Science Repositories

AquaDocs
Publications in Marine Science in digital form, including preprints, published articles, technical reports, working papers and more. AquaDocs is an open access repository covering the natural marine, estuarine/brackish and freshwater environments. It includes all aspects of the science, technology, management and conservation of these environments, their organisms and resources, and the economic, sociological and legal aspects.

AquaDocs was developed in 2021 by merging content from two former repositories, OceanDocs and Aquatic Commons, and is used by researchers, students, information and data managers, government officials and policy-makers.

AquaDocs offers the following benefits:

To make aquatic and marine science information FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) for all.

To offer a repository platform to those organizations and individuals without the infrastructure to support their own.

To provide a capacity development opportunity for the IODE and IAMSLIC Communities

AquaDocs is funded and managed by the UNESCO/IOC InternationaI Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) and the International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC) with support from the FAO Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts. It is hosted by Atmire using the Open Repository software.
ReefBase
A valuable resource for information on coral reefs which includes full-text coral reef-related publications, including the International Coral Reef Symposium Proceedings. Also includes ReefGIS, a mapping tool.

ReefBase is a project by WorldFish, an international, non-profit research organization dedicated to reduce poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture.

Data Sources

CenCOOS Data Portal
Scientific information including real-time sensor feeds, operational oceanographic and atmospheric models, satellite observations and GIS data sets that describe the biological, chemical and physical characteristics of central California and its surrounding waters
