Submit Records

Records in Essex are collated by the County Recorders and specialist groups in Essex, who compile and maintain detailed records of Essex flora, fauna and geology. This is a role which the Essex Field Club has undertaken since 1880 and in its modern form since the early 1950s.

Wherever possible CIEEM members shall make scientific data collected during the course of their professional duties available to others such as records centres. - See more at: CIEEM link .

• • taxon binomial
  • site location
  • grid reference
  • date
  • recorder
  • determiner
  
  
  
• and preferably also some info on habitat, quantity, whether voucher retained e.g. for difficult to identify invertebrate species, whether confirmed etc). Please DO NOT abbreviate names or use Vernacular names instead of the latin binomial, although using Vernacular names as well is fine.
