Museums hold 577 specimens collected within 10 miles of Howard Farms Beach between 1892 and 1975: 564 Animalia, 9 Plantae, 3 Fungi, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Woolman, AS Hazzard & party, Al Szuch and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
