With so many divers in the water each day, it is no surprise that new records for Ascension Island are pouring in almost daily.
In 1980, Roger Lubbock compiled a check-list of the fishes of Ascension Island. Since then, quite a few new fish records have been accumulated, in particular by island residents and visitors Jimmy Young and John & Jane Bingeman. We are planning to update the fish list and additionally produce a number of publications on the invertebrates discovered during the expedition.

The sea anemone, Telmatactis cricoides, was known from St Helena island but not yet from Ascension.
