Abstract
    Previous estimates of there being well over 1 million marine species appear 'improbable', says a team of 120 taxonomists led by Ward Appeltans of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC). They have just published a study based on the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), a database hosted by the Flanders Marine Institute in Oostende (Belgium) which the team of taxonomists helped to launch.
