This Inventory of species of animals and plants found in the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary is a work in progress.

The hyperlinks below will lead you to photos in our Inventory to date. If you click on any photo of interest you will find information such as the species identification, and photographer (see key below).

There is also a link below to the current Concise Species Inventory data base. Elsewhere we are maintaining the Complete Species Inventory data base with more information on dates and locations of sightings, photographers etc.

Current categories are:

Photographers: JB (Jack Breedon); RG (Robert Gardiner); EM (Emily Matheson Verey); SAS (Sarah Speight); DS (David Speller); SW (Sandy Webb); PW (Phil Watson). (Apologies for any omissions, please let us know)

We would like YOU to contribute to the development of our Species Inventory!

You can do this by sending us (eg by email) photos of interesting things you have seen in Jawbone. These may be better photos of species already in the Inventory, or something you think is new to us. Please tell us when you saw it, at what depth and what the substrate was like (sand, rock etc)...and roughly where you saw it. Use the place names we have given to the different parts of the Sanctuary to describe this. (These are shown elsewhere on this web site). If you can offer an identification please do.

Also if you can identify some of the plants or animals that we have not managed to identify, or you think we have made a mistake please let us know.
