35 PLANTS Database

The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories. It includes names, plant symbols, checklists, distributional data, species abstracts, characteristics, images, crop information, automated tools, onward Web links, and references. This information primarily promotes land conservation in the United States and its territories, but academic, educational, and general use is encouraged. PLANTS reduces government spending by minimizing duplication and making information exchange possible across agencies and disciplines.

34 Museum complex

Our Museum complex is part of the original “townscape,” and is designed to entertain and educate all ages to the tastes, talents and challenges of maritime life. Inside each building is a different presentation that highlights life at the water’s edge or on the briny deep. There’s a library and archive, renowned for its fine collections and additional exhibit space in the Library’s Phyllis E. Dillon Reading Room (closed weekends). When you’re ready to go ashore, there’s a Museum Store where you’ll find books and elegant gifts as reminders of your visit.
