This work has been supported, in part, by a grant from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant Program, Project No. A/S-47-PD.
Digitization of the marine algae collection is a joint project with the Northeast Algal Society. Current taxonomy, authorities and species biological data, including descriptions of geographic range, habitat and seasonality, are taken from the NEAS Keys to Benthic Marine Algae of the Northeastern Coast of North America from Long Island Sound to the Strait of Belle Isle ©. The MBLWHOI Library would like to thank NEAS and James Sears for kindly granting permission to use this data. Authority names for species not listed in the NEAS Keys are taken from AlgaeBase (Guiry and Nic Dhonncha, 2004).
The developers of vPlants" (a virtual herbarium of the Chicago region) provided valuable technical assistance and advice with regard to the selection and setup of scanning equipment. We gratefully acknowledge their assistance.
