The SeaLifeBase website was made public in November 2008. It was structured using the FishBase web interface. The page uses common names as well as scientific names as keywords to get to the species summary page. The species summary page provides basic information on the species as well as pictures, maps and links to other databases. Click here to go to the SeaLifeBase search page.
Maps are now provided using Aquamaps and data from the Sea Around Us Project.
