Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee International Census of Marine Microbes (ICoMM). The International Census of Marine Microbes project sought to determine the diversity and distribution of microscopic sea life from hundreds of locations around the world. The project, led by Americans Mitchell Sogin and Linda Amaral-Zettler and Dutch scientist Jan de Leeuw, discovered that initial estimates of ocean-residing microbe species was vastly under previously predicted levels, with numbers of species being at least ten times greater than previous estimates, and many more widely distributed than predicted. They also discovered that thousands of different microbe species live within a single litre of seawater.

The project, led by American scientists Edward Vanden Berghe and J. Frederick Grassle (previously by New Zealander Mark J. Costello), locates all oceanic species in a permanent, evolving repository, identifying oceanic points of high diversity, tracking species dispersion, and integrating species locales with variables such as temperature, salinity, and depth.
