Thanks for visiting my user page. If you have any comments feel free to leave them on my user talk page.

In short, I am a South African living (mostly) in Cape Town and working on uploading Cape Peninsula marine species to the Wikipedia, along with editing articles on genera and clades further upstream of genus if necessary. I am also working on various lists of South African marine species.
