Over twenty years have passed since the first inventory of Aotearoa New Zealand’s biodiversity was initiated, within the global millennial project, Species 2000 New Zealand. This immense undertaking culminated in the publication of three volumes reviewing New Zealand’s entire known inventory of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, covering all life in all environments, from the Cambrian to the present day (Gordon (Ed.) 2009, 2010, 2012). The impetus to update the inventory of New Zealand’s marine biodiversity came in the year 2020, effectively two decades after the New Zealand Inventory of Biodiversity was conceived, and coinciding with the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity (WCMB), held in Auckland in December 2020. Over the ensuing three years, sixty-five taxonomic experts from various national and overseas institutions revised and updated the inventory of their marine groups of interest, and summarised the status of knowledge on these taxa, to the date of publication. The geographic scope includes the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the wider New Zealand region encompassing the outer limits of the Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) and surrounding International Waters, occurring between 25° S and 56° 30’ S, and 158° E and 170° W
