Collection Profile for:
MARINe Macroalgal Collection at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC MARINe-Algae)

The Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe) is a consortium of research groups that collect compatible data along the west coast of North America. The pressings in this collection are housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz but contributors are from various MARINe entities. The majority of these voucher specimens were collected during intertidal biodiversity surveys for identification purposes because they were challenging to identify in the field. Due to the nature of this collection, there is a possibility of mis-identified species. 

This collection began in 2001 and continues through the present. There are currently over 3,300 specimens that have been collected from Alaska to Mexico (with a notable collector being Kathy Ann Miller).
