Explore Benthic Macrofauna with BenthixID
Our Vision
At BenthixID, we empower students, researchers, and marine enthusiasts with accessible tools to explore benthic macrofauna—key organisms in ocean health and biodiversity.
What is Benthic Macrofauna?
These are small invertebrates—like worms, mollusks, and crustaceans—living on the ocean floor. They play vital roles in nutrient cycling and sediment stability.
