Marine Science
Research beneath the surface.
Welcome to the website of Dr. Felix Lorenz, Jana Kratzsch and the team of marine-science.org. We are biologists, divers, researchers, and travellers who share the passion for seashells. Our goals include the discovery of new species, conservation, and education. As the second most diverse phylum of animals, the mollusca are essential to monitoring and protecting marine habitats, and to all aspects of marine science. This website features our goals and achievements.

Field photography
Close encounters in the field.
Marine science is not abstract. It is tactile, observational and often deeply human — built through repeated dives, careful documentation and patience beneath the surface.
The work behind this archive connects exploration, taxonomy, photography and conservation, creating a long-term record of marine habitats, species and change.
