- Diatoms.orgProvides analysts, academics and managers with tools for diatom taxonomy, nomenclature and ecology.
- Ecosystem ModelingEcosystem modeling for living marine resource management includes a range of qualitative and quantitative representations of part or all of an ecosystem.
- Institute for Tropical Marine Ecology ReportsReports published by the Institute for Tropical Marine Ecology.
- Marine and Coastal Ecosystems - UNEPCaribbean marine and coastal ecosystems, which include coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, are threatened by a number of factors including unsustainable development and fishing practices. One of the most holistic approaches to protecting marine and coastal ecosystems is Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) which recognizes the need to protect entire ecosystems instead of individual species.
- Marine Ecology from MarineBioMarine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat, populations, and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment).
- Marine Ecosystem-Based Management In Practice - Ecosystem Management Initiative, University of MichiganThis site presents case studies covering more than sixty places that are experimenting with an MEBM approach. By drawing lessons from real-world experience, we seek to enable managers, policymakers, scientists, stakeholders and students to learn how to improve the practice of marine resource management.
- National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS)NCEAS accelerates discoveries that enhance our understanding of the world and benefit people and nature.
- Ecopath with EcosimEcopath with Ecosim (EwE) is a free ecological/ecosystem modeling software suite. EwE has three main components: Ecopath – a static, mass-balanced snapshot of the system; Ecosim – a time dynamic simulation module for policy exploration; and Ecospace – a spatial and temporal dynamic module primarily designed for exploring impact and placement of protected areas.
- Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools - Open source geoprocessing for marine research and conservationMarine Geospatial Ecology Tools (MGET), also known as the GeoEco Python package, is an open source geoprocessing toolbox designed for coastal and marine researchers and GIS analysts who work with spatially-explicit ecological and oceanographic data in scientific or management workflows. MGET includes over 300 tools useful for a variety of tasks, such as downloading popular oceanographic datasets in GIS-compatible formats, identifying fronts and eddies in satellite images, building statistical habitat models from species observations and creating habitat maps, modeling biological connectivity by simulating hydrodynamic larval dispersal, and building grids that summarize fishing effort, CPUE and other statistics. Currently under development are tools for analyzing connectivity networks, for estimating fishing effort when no effort data are available, for predicting hard bottom habitat from coarse grain bathymetry, and much more.
