The availability of accurate and up-to-date information on marine species—ranging from nomenclature and taxonomy to species occurrences—is fundamental for several stakeholders, from marine scientists to policymakers. Today, this information is provided by well-known authoritative systems, including the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS* ), a comprehensive register of names of marine organisms and related information; Marine Regions* , a register of georeferenced information on marine place names and areas; and the European Ocean Biogeographic Information System (EurOBIS* ), where species occurrences in European waters are recorded. These platforms ensure marine biodiversity data is accessible and interoperable, supporting various applications and use cases for fostering advancements in taxonomy, marine biology, ecology and environmental science.
