Every artifact here was contributed by someone who cared enough to source it. There is a pathway for exactly who you are.
Submit field observations, licensed photos, and encounter notes. Sensitivity-aware records can strengthen species and region pages after review.
Contribute a species page, region briefing, dataset card or research summary. Every claim is cited, review state stays visible, and authorship remains in Git history.
Everything is CC-BY-4.0. Remix pages into lessons, translate them, or design missions that send students into the field with a clear ethical protocol.
Improve the public schema, validators, marine-mcp interface, agent skills, or this website. Institution-specific deployment code is not represented here as open source.
The commons would rather say nothing than say something unsourced. Every factual claim carries a citation, every welfare-sensitive page carries a review, and every contributor is credited. That is what makes this trustworthy enough to build on.
