In 1996 ENHS produced The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park listing 8243 species which had been recorded. (Now out of print). Since then there have been a number of additions published annually in Exmoor Naturalist magazine. The following lists show what we have recorded as of June 2020 , now 10,261 species from the Exmoor National Park Area, plus Minehead and Dunster Beach. It is hoped there will also be future additions and updates.

Freshwater-Algae: Updated to September 2020 to include all reports to Exmoor Naturalist No. 46 Pt 2.
Introduction to the Freshwater AlgaeThe Freshwater Algae fall into five groups which are each recorded by Scientific Names from A-Z in the following list. The groups cover Green Algae and Desmids, Stoneworts, Brown Algae and Diatoms, Blue-green Algae and Red Algae. For Seaweeds please see the Maritime Check-List. The study of Algae requires microscopic research and little has been done in this section by Exmoor Natural History Field Recorders. In the 1950s Dr W. Watson published a list of his findings in the SANHS Proceedings. For sake of completeness, these are included in the following list, with due acknowledgement. Further, up to date work on this subject would be advantageous
