- Earth Microbiome Project The Earth Microbiome Project is a proposed massively multidisciplinary effort to analyze microbial communities across the globe. The general premise is to examine microbial communities from their own perspective. Hence we propose to characterize the Earth by environmental parameter space into different biomes and then explore these using samples currently available from researchers across the globe. We will analyze 200,000 samples from these communities using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and amplicon sequencing to produce a global Gene Atlas describing protein space, environmental metabolic models for each biome, approximately 500,000 reconstructed microbial genomes, a global metabolic model, and a data-analysis portal for visualization of all information.
- FishBase a global information system on fishes searchable by scientific name, common name, country, ecosystem, topic, etc. Also includes a glossary
- GIGA (Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance) GIGA is a collaborative network of diverse scientists to tackle major challenges (e.g., species selection, sample collection and storage, sequence assembly, annotation, analytical tools) associated with genome/transcriptome sequencing across a large taxonomic spectrum. It aims to promote standards that will facilitate comparative approaches to invertebrate genomics and collaborations across the international scientific community.
- International Coral Reef Initiative The International Coral Reef Information Network (ICRIN) is a communications and information project of the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The website includes a library, photobank, education and outreach materials, newsletter, and more. http://www.coralreef.org/ http://www.coralreef.org/resources/photobank.html
- The International EcoTourism Society The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) is a program of the International Tourism Collective, an organization dedicated to promoting ecotourism. Founded in 1990, TIES has been on the forefront of the development of ecotourism, providing guidelines and standards, training, technical assistance, and educational resources. TIES' global network of ecotourism professionals and travelers is leading the efforts to make tourism a viable tool for conservation, protection of bio-cultural diversity, and sustainable community development.
