The goal of SeaLifeBase is to create and maintain an information system like FishBase for all non-fish marine organisms.
For each species included, it makes available the biological and ecological information necessary to conduct biodiversity and ecosystem studies, taking advantage of lists of species already available on paper and electronically, and using the scientific names as a "hook" to organise biodiversity information.
Since the number of species is huge, SeaLifeBase has made a list of priorities in its encoding strategy with short-term goals being set on an annual basis. Working on one or two island ecosystems at a time, the project works towards its ultimate goal to assign species to large marine ecosystems worldwide.
