WoRMS editorial board

The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) editorial board is a group of experts responsible for overseeing and maintaining a comprehensive database of marine species. Their role includes validating species information, ensuring accuracy, and updating records to reflect new scientific discoveries. This collaboration of taxonomists and marine biologists helps provide a reliable resource for researchers, educators, and conservationists, facilitating better understanding and protection of marine biodiversity. Essentially, the board ensures the database remains authoritative and useful for anyone interested in marine life.
