I hope that this is posted in the most suitable place! I am currently working on a grant funded book for the Marine Conservation Society which it is hoped will help people (divers, anglers, fishermen, rockpoolers, etc.) to identify the fishes found or potentially to be found in Welsh and adjacent waters. I have a 'wants' list of species which we need to feature with good, clear images suitable to help identify these creatures from (not always as easy as it sounds). If anyone has any of these and would be interested in supplying them for this project can you let me know and email me a 'powerpoint' jpeg (1024 px by 768 px at 72ppi) at paul at marinewildlife dot co dot uk. Please also let me know your terms (ideally I can offer a copy of the book initially as funds are limited and I do anticipate that the book should be useful). The list is as follows:
