Just a Citizen Scientist when using iNaturalist. Many thanks to the broader iNat community for helping me put proper names to my imagery.

My professional background: Research biologist with broad expertise in mapping and monitoring marine biodiversity (e.g. MSc, PhD, and a few postdocs in benthic ecology).

Here are some of my observations grouped into categories of interest:

• Heatmap of my observations
• 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020
• Intertidal Shoreline (frequent updates)
• Deep-sea (e.g. ROV cameras)
• Antarctica (including Drake Passage)
• In Captivity (e.g. zoo, aquarium, etc.)
• UV/Blacklight attracted (365nm and 395nm)
• Biomechanics and Behaviour (animated)

I'm not an expert taxonomist of any one particular group of species. For those interested, I would greatly appreciate ID suggestions on my observations in need of verification!
