Description
This database was created as an adjunct to the Alaska Seaweed Database (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/69644f2c-c2d7-4584-9bca-fe40c2e97d1c). It provides records of type specimens of species whose names have been applied to Alaska specimens at one time or another. Some of these species actually occur in Alaska, and some even have Alaska type localities. The database provides a full citation of the species name, including type locality, the location of type specimens and in some instances images of those types specimens.
