Species-specific data and petrochemical vulnerability rankings for marine tetrapods and complete clades of select marine invertebrates in the Gulf of Mexico

This dataset contains a comprehensive list of approximately 360 species comprised of all known marine mammals, marine reptiles, and complete clades of select invertebrate groups (e.g. corals, sea cucumbers, cone snails, oysters, cephalopods, and lobsters) present in the Gulf of Mexico. Data for each species include a number of biological and ecological traits and where possible, an estimated petrochemical vulnerability ranking.
