1979 St Paul's Rocks
Saint Paul's Rocks are an isolated, uninhabited group of islets in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, which appeared from the reports of visitors to possess a quite remarkable flora and fauna. The aims of the expedition were (1) to make collections of the marine and terrestial flora and fauna, (2) to establish the biographical relationships of the animal and plant species at St Paul's with those from other areas in the tropical atlantic, and (3) to study the large shark population that surrounds the Rocks.
