  • Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 Final Report.Pdf
    FINAL REPORT 1 | P a g e Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 – Final Report Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 This year’s Bioblitz was held in North Sands, Salcombe (Figure 1). Surveying took place from 11am on Sunday the 27th September until 2pm on Monday the 28th September 2015. Over the course of the 24+ hours of the event, 11 timetabled, public-participation activities took place, including scientific surveys and guided walks. More than 250 people attended, including 75 local school children, and over 150 volunteer experts and enthusiasts, families and members of the public. A total of 1109 species were recorded. Introduction A Bioblitz is a multidisciplinary survey of biodiversity in a set place at a set time. The main aim of the event is to make a snapshot of species present in an area and ultimately, to raise public awareness of biodiversity, science and conservation. The event was the seventh marine/coastal Bioblitz to be organised by the Marine Biological Association (MBA). This year the MBA led in partnership with South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Ambios Ltd, with both organisations contributing vital funding and support for the project overall. Ambios Ltd were able to provide support via the LEMUR+ wildlife.technology.skills project and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Support also came via donations from multiple organisations. Xamax Clothing Ltd provided the iconic event t-shirts free of cost; Salcombe Harbour Hotel and Spa and Monty Hall’s Great Escapes donated gifts for use as competition prizes; The Winking Prawn Café and Higher Rew Caravan and Camping Park offered discounts to Bioblitz staff and volunteers for the duration of the event; Morrisons Kingsbridge donated a voucher that was put towards catering; Budget Car Hire provided use of a van to transport equipment to and from the event free of cost; and donations were received from kind individuals.

    Fauna norvegica 2013 Vol. 32: 45-52. ISSN: 1502-4873 Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species Jussi Evertsen1 and Torkild Bakken1 Evertsen J, Bakken T. 2013. Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species. Fauna norvegica 32: 45-52. A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucro- niferus). In addition 10 species that can be considered rare in Norwegian waters are presented with new information (Lophodoris danielsseni, Onchidoris depressa, Palio nothus, Tritonia griegi, Tritonia lineata, Hero formosa, Janolus cristatus, Cumanotus beaumonti, Berghia norvegica and Calma glau- coides), in some cases with considerable changes to their distribution. These new results present an update to our previous extensive investigation of the nudibranch fauna of the Norwegian coast from 2005, which now totals 87 species. An increase in several new species to the Norwegian fauna and new records of rare species, some with considerable updates, in relatively few years results mainly from sampling effort and contributions by specialists on samples from poorly sampled areas. doi: 10.5324/fn.v31i0.1576.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

Av. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen.—Lista actualizada de los opistobranquios (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia) de las costas catalanas. Se presenta una lista taxonómica de las especies de opistobranquios (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia) registradas hasta el presente en aguas litorales o de profundidad de las costas catalanas (NE Península Ibérica). Esta lista se basa en citas publicadas en la literatura, en citas fotográficas procedentes de Internet, en comunicaciones personales de buceadores y en numerosos datos inéditos de recolecciones del autor. De cada especie se indican las referencias bibliográficas, y en el caso de los datos no publicados o procedentes de Internet, se indican las localidades concretas donde se han recolectado u observado. En aguas catalanas se registran hasta el momento un total de 205 especies de opistobranquios: 36 de Cephalaspidea s.s., 9 de Architectibranchia, 7 de Anaspidea, 11 de Thecosomata, 3 de Gymnosomata, 14 de Sacoglossa, 2 de Umbraculacea, 8 de Pleurobranchacea y 115 de Nudibranchia (55 Doridina, 14 Dendronotina, 4 Arminina y 42 Aeolidina). De estas especies, tres de ellas se citan por vez primera para el litoral ibérico (Runcina adriatica, R. brenkoae y Tritonia lineata), mientras que otras siete más no habían sido recolectadas en el litoral catalán (Runcina coronata, R. ferruginea, Elysia translucens, Ercolania coerulea, Berthellina edwarsi, Doris ocelligera y Piseinotecus gabinieri).

  • Seasearch Seasearch Wales 2012 Summary Report Summary Report
    Seasearch Wales 2012 Summary Report report prepared by Kate Lock, South and West Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Liz MorMorris,ris, North Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Chris Wood, National coco----ordinatorordinator Seasearch Wales 2012 Seasearch is a volunteer marine habitat and species surveying scheme for recreational divers in Britain and Ireland. It is coordinated by the Marine Conservation Society. This report summarises the Seasearch activity in Wales in 2012. It includes summaries of the sites surveyed and identifies rare or unusual species and habitats encountered. These include a number of Welsh Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species. It does not include all of the detailed data as this has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and supplied to Natural Resources Wales for use in its marine conservation activities. The data is also available on-line through the National Biodiversity Network. During 2012 we continued to focus on Biodiversity Action Plan species and habitats and on sites that had not been previously surveyed. Data from Wales in 2012 comprised 192 Observation Forms, 154 Survey Forms and 1 sea fan record. The total of 347 represents 19% of the data for the whole of Britain and Ireland. Seasearch in Wales is delivered by two Seasearch regional coordinators. Kate Lock coordinates the South and West Wales region which extends from the Severn estuary to Aberystwyth. Liz Morris coordinates the North Wales region which extends from Aberystwyth to the Dee. The two coordinators are assisted by a number of active Seasearch Tutors, Assistant Tutors and Dive Organisers. Overall guidance and support is provided by the National Seasearch Coordinator, Chris Wood.

Published online at www.mollusca-journal.de > Abstract German common names for marine and brackish water molluscs. – A list of common names of German marine and brackish water molluscs was compiled for the German coastal waters and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the North and Baltic Seas. Main aim of this compilation is to give interested non-professionals better access to and understanding of sea shells and squids. As often long-lived and relatively stationary species, molluscs can provide a key function as water quality indicators. The taxonomic classifi cation was based on the Mollusca databases CLEMAM and ERMS (MARBEF). The list includes 309 species. > Kurzfassung Eine Liste deutscher Namen der marinen und Brackwasser-Mollusken der deutschen Küstengewässer und der Ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone (AWZ) der Nord- und Ostsee wurde erstellt.
