Khoyatan Marine Laboratory houses a moderately large collection of NE Pacific Sponges which have been worked on by Bill Austin and Bruce Ott. A list of 260 species from central California to southern Alaska is recorded by Austin (1985). Austin and Ott provided a key to 130 species known from British Columbia and Washington (Kozloff, 1987).

This annotated list of approximately 290 species is an update of the 1985 list noted above. The 142 highlighted species names include photos of specimens and 90 species names flagged by SEM have scanning electromicrographs of skeletal spicules. These can serve as a pictorial supplement to existing descriptions and keys. The list includes some undescribed species (unnamed) but is not intended as a medium for formal species descriptions. Scanning electron micrographs were taken by Bill Austin at Simon Fraser University and at the University of Victoria, while underwater photographs were largely taken by Neil McDaniel (McDaniel Photography, Vancouver, BC).

Curt Smecher has produced a list of BC sponges with a synopsis of systematic characters and distribution www.interchg.ubc.ca/csmecher on his web site. Welton Lee, David Elvin and Henry Reiswig have produced a major guide to the sponges of California. We hope that, ultimately, a revised list will incorporate the work of all spongologists along the NE Pacific coast. Please note that the list at this time is a draft copy subject to updates and corrections.
