There isn't a lot, but then its very nature would preclude there being very much:

Seekommando He 115


Formation and History. (Oct 44 - Feb 45)
On 27 December 1944 a He 115B-C was shot down by German Flak at La Rochelle on the Bay of Biscay, 80%. This aircraft may have belonged to a quasi-official detachment known as Seekommando He 115 that flew supply missions among the surrounded fortress garrisons on France’s Atlantic coast, 1944-45. The so-called Seekdo. He 115 is believed to have been set up at Friedrichshafen on the Bodensee (Lake Constance) in October or November 1944 with volunteer aircrew and obsolete He 115s, most of which were provided by Fl.Erg.Gr. (See) at Kamp after it was disbanded. Intended as a Staffel, it was never formalized and remained a provisional collection of aircrew and aircraft. Its mission was to fly supply and liaison missions from Friedrichshafen to the Atlantic fortresses at night, but evidence suggests that only a few of these were ever flown due to the critical shortage of fuel and the high probability of being intercepted by Allied night fighters. Before it ceased operations, what may be its final accident report was filed. On 11 Jan 45 He 115B-C crashed in bad weather at Friedrichshafen in South Germany, 100%, pilot injured. The Kommando was evidently dissolved in February 1945.[1]
