Introduction / Introductie

On this site you find my photo's of marine fauna and flora. Each species has its own page with photo's. Use the main pages in the right column to choose a certain group of marine life (phylum, class, order etc.). Or use the search engine to look for the scientific or vernacular name (to search on your mobile phone: scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'view web version').

By now its only a limited number of species, but many will follow soon. Only of the phylum, class or order where a species is posted, you will find an (overview)page in the right column.
