Again and again, members of the AWG receive pictures of sea cucumbers from all over the world. Through collaborative effort, whereby we push tens of emails (often loaded with other pictures) through ethernet cables that cross oceans, we try to get to an identification which is as reliable as possible. We are always happy when we arrive to a consensus name. An then internet silence...
Until, a new burst of pictures is sent through and we think: 'hey ain't we seen this little critter before? Let's check it out in our mailbox'. Frantically we try to re-locate past exchanges and often come to the conclusion that we fail short in retrieving all the nuances that we had so carefully put to paper.
In order to keep an archive of the pictures and make discussion more focused, the Belgian leg (actually six of them) of the AWG has set up a new section on its website. You can find it out here.
