Sponsorship
MarLIN (an initiative of the Marine Biological Association of the UK) welcomes sponsorship to fund the core maintenance and development of our web resources. Sponsors can elect to make a simple donation, or sponsor specific activities or content. Sponsorship can also be 'in kind', such as donations of survey data, etc.
Sponsorship is required for the following core activities:
- maintenance of the IT infrastructure, servers, software and hardware;
- continued development of the website and its functionality; and
- updating and expanding our information on species and habitats;
Your sponsorship will help to ensure that the MarLIN website remains a free, open access resource.
For example, organizations and institutions may wish to sponsor
- a new search tool tailored to their needs;
- a particular group of species or habitats relevant to their work.
While individuals may wish to sponsor:
- a favourite species page
- a favourite habitat page
What do you gain as a sponsor?
Well, together with the satisfaction of supporting an internationally acclaimed project, sponsors gain:
- unlimited access to the largest source of free information on the likely effects of human activities of marine species and habitats;
- unlimited access to the largest source of information on marine biodiversity in the North East Atlantic;
- unlimited access to our Biological Traits Information Catalogue (BIOTIC); and
- unlimited access to our enquiries service.
And for organizations
- your logo (and link) on a website that regularly receives over 1 million page views from a quarter of a million unique visitors from ca 200 countries/territories worldwide.
