The objective of this dataset is to compile the historic records of marine and brackish diatom current species and genera reported for French coastal areas since the last quarter of the 19th century. The main focus is marine benthic diatoms, as occurrence datasets for phytoplankton (REPHY dataset) and for freshwater benthic diatoms (SEEE-Diatomées dataset) already exist for French coastal and inland waters, respectively. The dataset aims to fill this gap in knowledge by compiling reports that have been more difficult to reach (e.g., books, PhD theses and other grey literature), but also published papers on microphytobenthos research. The current version of the dataset has 11511 taxonomic entries found in 49 different references, dating from 1888 to 2019. A total of 2846 different taxa were compiled, 97% to species level or below, 3% to genus level. The dataset also offers information on geographic locations at 4 different levels, namely: site, county (i.e., département), region and seaboard. It also provides data on ecology (e.g., sampled substrate, habitat, growth forms) for most taxa. Moreover, a linkage to DiatomBase and WoRMS is given via AphiaID, their unique numerical database identifier. This linkage added relevant information for each species, such as higher taxonomic ranks or its accepted valid synonym.
