Deep-sea ID app

INDEEP also provided funding for the first version of Deep Sea ID, an iOS field guide app to the marine life of the deep sea. The project was led by the Natural History Museum, the National Oceanography Centre and the World Register of Marine Species. The app allows offline access to the World Register of Deep-Sea Species and currently stores on your device the taxonomic information for over 20,000 deep-sea species, over 350 high-resolution photographs of deep-sea specimens as well as links to online taxonomic tools, sources and important references. The app is designed to improve access to taxonomic information for researchers and contractors working at sea or in the laboratory as well as educators and science communicators who wish to learn more about the remarkable diversity of deep-sea life.
