The Macrobenthos of the North Sea project was initiated by ETI and the Zoological Museum at the University of Amsterdam. It provides users with a complete and up-to-date catalogue of macrobenthic species, including reliable standardized identification guides. In a series of five CD-ROMs the biological diversity in the shallow-water macrobenthos of the North Sea (down to 100 m) is documented. Volume I of this series contains detailed information on 525 species of Mollusca and Brachiopoda, including fully illustrated computer assisted pictorial keys, glossaries of used terms and interactive distribution maps. All text is hyperlinked, making the CD-ROM a valuable, but easy to use, tool for marine biologists, environmentalists and students. This CD-ROM is a reference work that facilitates monitoring studies, and is a standard tool for identifying the North Sea benthos.
