European register of marine species and identification experts

[Chris Emblow]

Dear Colleagues,

Firstly I apologise for cross-posting and secondly to those who have already
responded to this request (thank you for your responses.

The European Register of Marine Species is a research consortium funded by
the European Union under the MAST (Marine Science and Technology) programme
producing:

a register of marine species in Europe

a bibliography of identification guides

a register of identification experts and

a list of collections of reference specimens

and an Information Pack on European marine biodiversity (based on this
project`s results) will also be produced.

The species register is novel in its geographic extent, range of taxa
covered, and that it will use the state-of-the-art World Wide Web software
for publication and networking. It is anticipated that the register will
become a standard reference (and technological tool) for marine biodiversity
training, research and management in Europe.

To be included on the register of identification expert please complete the
simple electronic form at

The project homepage is at http://erms.biol.soton.ac.uk.

Thank you

Chris
