Marine Life of Victoria
Melbourne (Victoria) Sea Slug Census XX
Number 20 kicks off tomorrow. To date we have recorded anywhere between 260-315 species. The reason for the discrepancy and uncertainty is Taxonomy!!!! While I would love to rabbit on about it here, I won't. We still have a long way to go just to give the slugs you come across a name. There is some headway being made, albeit slowly. I will keep you posted.
In the meantime if you capture some slug shots over the next ten days (March 29 - April 7). Please join the census project so they get added to the nationwide project https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/melbourne-sea-slug-census-march-2024
Happy slugging .
Cheers,
Kade
