An average of about 1400 new marine species are described each year worldwide. A surprising high number of these are from European waters, which one might have assumed were so well studied that they contained no surprises. These new species include all phyla, from microbes such as bacteria up to vertebrates. The majority of newly described species are invertebrates, partly because the formal process of naming new bacteria lags far behind the rate of their discovery. Bellow you can find a list of all European species which have been discovered by MarBEF researchers.


Newly discovered Annelida

Newly discovered Arthropoda

Newly discovered Bryozoa

Newly discovered Cnidaria

Newly discovered Gastrotricha
