MARCSI - Inventory of Marine Citizen Science Initiatives and the FAIRness of the data they produce
Inventory (data set) of Marine Citizen Science Intiatives collected and described in the publication entitled "Past and present marine citizen science around the globe: a cumulative inventory of initiatives and data produced". AMBIO (Vol. 54, Issue 6, pp. 994–1009). https://doi.org/10.1007/s13280-024-02119-z The metadata at SND/DORIS includes geographical coverage, but mostly only to the level of country/territory.

Flora and/or fauna in natural environment.
Features and characteristics of salt water bodies (excluding inland waters).
[Andrea Wiggins] Citizen science is a form of research collaboration that involves the public in scientific researchto address real-world problems.
Geographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and (life support) functions that physically support the organisms that live there. Includes terrestrial and aquatic areas distinguished by geographical, abiotic and biotic features, whether entirely natural or semi-natural.
Physical conditions of oceans (currents, salinity, wave heights, etc.).
Physical conditions of seas and saline water bodies divided into regions and sub-regions with common characteristics.
Geographical distribution of occurrence of animal and plant species aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit.
