Sargassum : Reference-Repository

 The Sargassum Reference Repository is a living and growing collection of scientific works related to the biology, impacts and uses of Sargassum within the Wider Caribbean Region and beyond.

For each entry, you can view reference metadata (authors, title, date, etc), and in most cases you can view the abstract. Where an item is open source, you can click the URL provided to access it.

The references are organised and searchable based on a predetermined set of tags.

We encourage you to peruse the hundreds of listings we have compiled here.

If you have a publication that you believe would be beneficial to the repository, send us an email.
