As an internationally recognized, CITES-certified collection, the Gilbert and Nancy Voss Marine Invertebrate Collection (VMIC) offers researchers an array of tropical marine invertebrate specimen with an emphasis on western Atlantic species, as well as a small number western Africa and eastern Pacific species. The collection’s geographic and depth ranges of Atlantic tropical and deep-sea species are of exceptional value as a data resource. Being comprehensive in nature, a major portion of the material in the collection continues to be identified by leading specialists from around the world. We provide unparalleled access to taxa found in no other collection, and are best known for our comprehensive mollusk and scleactinian coral collections. Our mission is to further the scientific knowledge and education of marine invertebrates through the sharing and development of invertebrate taxonomic information and specimen material.
