This project will transfer the Abbott personal collection of marine algae into the Bernice P. Bishop Museum's so that future generations of researchers and educators may benefit from them. All information associated with these specimens will be databased and assimilated into the Museum's algal collection. The correct names of the primary reef-building algae will be resolved. The resulting algal collection will be the most accurate comprehensive documentation of algal biodiversity of the Pacific region in the world.The Abbott Collection contains many thousands of valuable seaweed specimens that document the marine reef-building floristic biodiversity of the Hawaiian Island chain from Kure Atoll to the island of Hawaii and elsewhere in the Pacific. Research, monitoring and resource management efforts, especially pertinent to threats of marine invasive species and other environmental changes, are substantial activities of many federal, state, and commonwealth governments. Reliable records and accurate taxonomic identifications, with emphasis on the reef-building coralline algae, are of major ecological importance in understanding the dynamics of reef ecosystems. These data are crucial to any effective resource management throughout the Pacific. The Museum's virtual algal herbarium direct Internet access will enable immediate availability of precision information and rapid response via interactive data platforms. Educational benefits will range from general species information and images, to accurate known distribution, species range predictability, potential spread of invasive species, and ecological changes.

该项目将把雅培个人收藏的海藻转移到伯尼斯·P·毕夏普博物馆，以便后代的研究人员和教育工作者可以从中受益。 与这些标本相关的所有信息都将被数据库化并纳入博物馆的藻类收藏中。 主要造礁藻类的正确名称将得到解决。 由此产生的藻类收藏将成为世界上太平洋地区藻类生物多样性最准确的综合记录。雅培收藏包含数千个珍贵的海藻标本，记录了从吴环礁到夏威夷岛和太平洋其他地方的夏威夷群岛的海洋珊瑚礁植物区系生物多样性。 研究、监测和资源管理工作，特别是与海洋入侵物种的威胁和其他环境变化相关的研究、监测和资源管理工作，是许多联邦、州和联邦政府的实质性活动。 可靠的记录和准确的分类学鉴定（重点是造礁珊瑚藻）对于了解珊瑚礁生态系统的动态具有重要的生态意义。 这些数据对于整个太平洋地区的任何有效资源管理都至关重要。 博物馆的虚拟藻类植物标本室直接接入互联网，将能够通过交互式数据平台立即提供精确信息和快速响应。 教育效益包括一般物种信息和图像、准确的已知分布、物种范围的可预测性、入侵物种的潜在传播和生态变化。
