Abstract
SIMMAM (Sistema de Apoio ao Monitoramento de Mamíferos Marinhos) has been available for marine mammal researchers and environmental agencies in Brazil since 2005. However, it had to be updated, to adapt to new standards and data sharing policies. SIMMAM 3.0 uses more modern technologies (PHP 7.4, Symfony 5.x, PostgreSQL 11.x, PostGIS 3.x, Leaflet 1.7) and is compliant to DarwinCore (DwC) standard and able to exchange data with other data portals that use it. Its database now holds more than 44000 marine mammal records and is an important tool in the decision-making process of Brazilian environmental agencies.
