Previously unknown sea creatures dredged up from Spirits Bay in the Far North are immediately 'at risk' from fishers disturbing the seabed. Sixteen of these creatures were new to science and 45 are restricted just to Spirits Bay. Specimens of these rarities have been examined at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in Wellington, where Dave Hansford took these photographs. Scientist--curator Steve O'Shea of NIWA is seen working on various specimens, including a newly reported octopus species, below foreground.
