Species Lists

- An objective of the SERTC is to produce taxonomic species lists to marine invertebrate groups that live within the South Atlantic Bight Region

• Taxonomic Listing of Decapod Crustaceans Occurring in the South Atlantic Bight (<200m)
  
  
• Species List of Octocorallia in the South Atlantic Bight to 200m
  
  
• Taxonomic List of Mysids Occurring in the South Atlantic Bight (<200m)

Taxonomic Keys

- We aim to deliver freely available online keys to marine invertebrates that live within the South Atlantic Bight Region

Glossaries

- Often, taxonomists will use descriptive terms in keys that are specific to a group of animals. These can be confusing to those who are trying to identify animals that they have never worked with before. Glossaries are an essential tool to help identify species.

• Echinoderm Glossary of Terms
