A rich inventory. A record to understand.

BIODIVERSITY, ILLUSTRATED

Many forms of life. One connected coast.

The institutional report compiles 429 inventory entries across eleven groups. Explore the records, their ecological roles and their different geographical scopes.

Birds above the tide. Fish among seagrass. Crabs and other invertebrates on the seabed. This artwork brings connected coastal habitats into one imagined scene.

429 is the report’s compiled total, not a current species census. The bird list includes the surrounding coast; mammals and turtles are regional Penang-water records. Some names are identified only to genus, and fish rows 96 and 97 repeat. Counts preserve the source compilation rather than a taxonomically deduplicated list.
