Join VESS our second Sea Slug CensusThe Vanuatu Environmental Science Society is teaming up with the Sea Slug Census to document the sea slug diversity of Vanuatu, starting on the island of Efate. Our first census was in 2021. By taking photographs of any sea slug seen during the census we can increase our knowledge of the sea slug fauna of Vanautu and their distribution patterns. Dive shops and individual divers are encouraged to join in but you can also see and document sea slugs in rock pools or by snorkelling in the shallows. This year our Sea Slug Census of Mele Bay is taking place from the 30th March to the 9th April. Any photos of sea slugs can be uploaded to the event in iNaturalist or you can send us your photos and we can upload them. Here is the link to the iNaturalist event page: www.inaturalist.org/projects/vanuatu-sea-slug-census-march-april-2023BackgroundThe Sea Slug Census is a collaborative citizen science program initiated by the National Marine Science Centre, Southern Cross University, and first delivered at Nelson Bay, NSW, Australia in December 2013 with the Combined Hunter Underwater Group.Approximately 3,000 species of sea slug have been scientifically described across the globe, with estimates of at least the same number of species awaiting description and an unknown number awaiting discovery. Most sea slugs have rapid life cycles (<1 year) and are therefore highly likely to respond to changing environmental conditions. This suggests that they may have considerable potential for monitoring human-induced changes, including climate change.Sea slugs are highly popular subjects for recreational, underwater photographers whose images consequently represent a potentially important record of patterns of species diversity and distribution. This Sea Slug Census project harnesses this enormous potential to document species distributions and to explore pathways for ongoing, volunteer-based biodiversity monitoring. The sampling framework allows the scientists to address key scientific questions whilst encouraging engagement amongst the participants to learn more about sea slugs.
