From the website's description (iSpot | southern Africa - your place to share nature)
Your gateway to sharing and identifying the biodiversity around us. Ultimately we hope that this site will become the premier Citizen Science portal for southern Africa, providing photographic, distributional and biogeographic data on all taxa, with species lists, surveys and atlas opportunities: your one-stop-shop for recording and exchanging biodiversity information.
Basically, you upload your pics along with some info, attempt to ID the critter and then other users can confirm or correct your attempt. It's not specifically for marine life, it covers everything, but marine life is included in the categories. It looks like the folks from SURG and Peter Southwood are on there and posting prolifically already. It should become a valuable resource once momentum gets going.
