Census of Marine Life/A Decade of Discovery

September 14, 2012 - September 2013 (TBA)

Museum: Natural History Museum

Location: Case in Sant Ocean Hall, 1st Floor, North Center

The Census of Marine Life project, a decade-long project culminating in 2010, produced the most comprehensive inventory of known marine life ever compiled and cataloged. The project, which will be the basis for future research, involved several curators from the museum and from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Systematics Lab at the museum. This case features the prestigious International COSMOS prize received by the project, graphics, and a squid specimen.
