Natural science collections produced by marine environmental research: from sample to the web (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the significance of natural science collections (NSC) produced through marine environmental research, highlighting their role in biodiversity studies and environmental monitoring. It argues that collections, generated by scientific expeditions or research, provide crucial data about species and ecosystem dynamics, contributing to conservation efforts. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the integration of these collections into digital repositories to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among researchers, thus enhancing their value for educational and research purposes.
