FIGURE 1. Maps of South Africa with place names mentioned in the text, depicting both national (A, Sink et al. 2019b) and global (C, Marine Ecoregions of the World: MEOW, Spalding et al. 2007) marine ecoregions, with the latter used by the World Porifera Database (de Voogd et al. 2024). The Amathole region is located in the transitional Agulhas-Natal ecoregion boundary zone (B) or in the Natal ecoregion (C) depending on the biogeographic classification system used. The Marine Protected Areas (light blue blocks) depicted in B are further detailed in Figure 2. Generated using QGIS v.2.6.1.
