Description of the mode of collection:

The search for past and present marine citizen science initiatives consisted of a strategic, multi-source effort that maximised the efficiency of limited available resources that could be used to ascertain that a given marine citizen science initiative exists or had existed in the past. This strategy resulted in efforts that spanned (a) literature searches, (b) citizen science-related organisations and platforms, (c) events (conferences and workshops) and (d) social media (namely, X (previously Twitter)). We explicitly excluded other search strategies such as surveys among marine citizen science coordinators, in order to be able to ascertain the extent to which identified initiatives practice the FAIR principles, without relying on personal contact with coordinators.
