Abstract
In 2000, the Census of Marine Life was launched to assess the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine organisms throughout the world's oceans. The first Census of Marine Life reported life in the ocean was richer, more connected, and more impacted than previously thought. It created a baseline against which future change can be measured, established the world's largest online geospatially referenced marine life database, advanced technology used to explore the ocean, and modeled how large scientific collaborations might be structured for success.
