Sea Slug Census 2019

registration for independent surveys

Guidelines

The Sapphire Coast Sea Slug Census involves recording photos of each species of seaslug you find on the coast (Eden - Bateman’s Bay) during the census period (12 - 20th  of January 2019).

  1. Please register your participation below

  2. Send in photos of each species of sea slug you encounter during the census period. If you think you may have found two species that look very similar send in photos of both individuals.

  3. You don’t need to identify the nudis, just take their photos!

  4. Photos must be taken on the South Coast of NSW (Green Cape to Bateman’s Bay) during the period 12 - 20th January 2019.

  5. Photos should be cropped around the sea slug and either added to our Atlas of Life: Coastal Wilderness database (you may need to register), or submitted by email to libby@atlasoflife.org.au
