The Benthic Marine Algal Herbarium of Long Island Sound Digital Collection, created, digitized, and cataloged by JRL librarians Shelley Cudiner and Nancy Gillies, has finally been completed. Professor Charles Yarish donated his collection and taxonomic expertise. This database was created to produce an identification database of collected and pressed specimens of algae from the Long Island Sound for teaching purposes while at the same time creating an image archive for UConn’s algal herbarium. Specimans from the University of New Hampshire and the Millstone Environmental Lab have also been included. There are 299 images and accompanying photographs of all 236 Long Island Sound species.
