RAMS (the Register of Antarctic Marine Species) is a free and open access database that contains taxonomic and biogeographic data for over 18,000 accepted Antarctic marine species. It is a community-driven project with a board of 60 editors. RAMS is part of the larger WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species) database. It serves as a taxonomic backbone for many Antarctic biodiversity projects and is aimed at supporting science, conservation, and management efforts. RAMS data is accessible on the biodiversity.aq website.
