<P>The new World Register of Marine Species (<A 
href="http://www.marinespecies.org" target=_blank>www.marinespecies.org</A>) 
contains about 122,500 validated marine species names (experts having recognized 
and tidied up some 56,400 aliases - 32% of all names reviewed). It also contains 
some 5,600 images, hyperlinks to taxonomic literature and other information.</p> <P>Marking the World Register's official inauguration, some 55 researchers from 
17 countries met in Belgium to plan its completion by 2010. Leading World 
Register experts independently estimate that about 230,000 marine species are 
known to science. They also believe there are three times as many unknown 
(unnamed) marine species as known, for a grand total on Earth that could surpass 
1 million.</P><BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px;
