These questions were the genesis for the Census of Marine Life, a growing global network of researchers in more than 70 nations engaged in a ten-year initiative to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the ocean and explain how it changes over time.

Burgeoning marine life database tops 5 million records, 38,000 species; Scientists add over 4 million new records, 25,000 species in 2004; Exponential growth of OBIS tops Census highlights in 2004

--- a fascinating site worth visiting!
