CAML: Census of Antarctic Marine Life

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML). The Census of Antarctic Marine Life project was designed to monitor changes in marine fish and invertebrate populations as a result of depletion in the ice shelves. The project was led by Australian scientists Michael Stoddart and Victoria Wadley, who documented more than 16,000 species, of which several hundred were previously unknown.

CeDAMar: Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life (CeDAMar). The Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life examined the feeding patterns and distribution ranges of life in the abyssal plains and larger oceanic basins in the Southern Atlantic and Southern Pacific oceans, ranging from single-celled organisms to larger cephalopods. The project, led by scientists Pedro Martinez Arbizu and Craig Smith, catalogued more than 500 new species and examined the causes of change to abyssal life far removed from the ocean floor (in the form of climate change, pollution and mining efforts).

CenSeam: Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam). The Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts project examined life on more than 100,000 seamounts that rose more than 1000 metres from the ocean floor, discovering new species and ecosystems similar to those on neighbouring slopes. The project, led by New Zealanders Malcolm Clark, Mireille Consalvey and Ashley Rowden, and American Karen Stocks, examined the perilous nature of these isolated communities when subject to changes such as damage caused by nearby fishing.

CReefs: Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems (CReefs). The Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems project conducted a thorough examination of the sorts of life found in the world’s coral reefs, discovering thousands of new species in the process while placing known species in new locales. The project, headed up by Americans Nancy Knowlton and Russell Brainard and Australian scientist Julian Caley, developed a tool called the Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structure to provided standardized examination of species distribution, warming temperatures and oceanic acidification at reef locations throughout the world.

GOMA: Gulf of Maine Area

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Gulf of Maine Area (GOMA). The GOMA project involved creating a species register of the diverse Gulf of Maine, examining tidal pools, slopes, seamounts, and other underwater landforms. The project, headed by Canadian and American scientists Sara Ellis, Lewis Incze and Peter Lawton, assembled more than 4000 species and microbes native to the area (more than twice the amount previously determined to live in the Gulf). The project used sonar as a means of examining the overall marine ecosystem and species’ interactions, rather than focusing on individual species.

ICoMM: International Census of Marine Microbes

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.

NaGISA: Natural Geography in Shore Areas

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Natural Geography in Shore Areas (NaGISA). The Natural Geography in Shore Areas project sought to produce a worldwide near-shore biodiversity inventory, examining marine life in seagrass beds and along rock shores. The project, led by an international contingent of scientists from Japan (Yoshihisa Shirayama), United States (Brenda Konar and Katrin Iken), Venezuela (Patricia Miloslavich and Juan José Cruz Motta), Italy (Lisandro Benedetti-Cecchi), Kenya (Edward Kimani) and Canada (Gerhard Pohle), sampled data from 200 short-term sites and 40 long-terms sites, discovering new species and recording the habits and habitats of other species in new areas.
