The UNESCO-IOC Register of Marine Organisms (URMO) is an already large and gradually growing dataset that is being built up and maintained by Jacob van der Land at the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden. Access to completed data sets will be provided in the near future by the IODE project office at Ostend, Belgium, and Naturalis, Leiden. The register contains a number of global species databases for exclusively marine invertebrates and 20 of these are included in this Annual Checklist in 13 phyla and 7 classes.
