Dorset Marine Literature Database

The Dorset Marine Literature Database has been established to enable easier access to information on Dorset's marine environment.

The Dorset Marine Literature Database has been set up through the work of the Joint Dorset Marine Committee, with funding kindly provided from the Standing Conference On Problems Associated with the Coastline (SCOPAC).

The Dorset Marine Literature Database provides references to the different marine reports (both published and unpublished), books and journals.

What sort of information can be found on the database?

  • Dorset's marine and coastal wildlife
  • Dorset's marine and coastal archaeology & history
  • Marine conservation documents
  • Fisheries reports
  • Information on Shipwrecks
  • Information on Christchurch, Poole, Weymouth and Portland Harbour

How can you help develop the database?


Currently this marine literature database is in its infancy. In order for it to expand and be of greater use it requires input from people and organisations who hold information on Dorset's marine environment. There is a special submission form where you can input references and send them by email to be added to the database.
