This dataset sourced from citizen scientists through the TunSea platform (TunSea), focusing on rare, cryptogenic and non-indigenous marine species along Tunisia's coastline. Initial data, comprising images and comments, underwent careful verification for accuracy. The refined dataset consolidates information linked to each specific observation. This study contributes to understanding the presence and distribution of non-indigenous marine species along the coastline of Tunisia in the south of the Mediterranean Sea. Lineage
