sealord > This is the beach on the lower shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. A sandeel, probably the lesser sandeel, Ammodytes tobianus, has buried itself in the moist sand. The sandeel is in the beach on the left-hand side of the image. Photographed on 29 March 2006. File No. 32-823 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The red seaweed in the centre of the image is Plocamium cartilagineum. This was photographed on the lower shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 10 February 2005. Notice the mushroom-like caps of the first year's growth of thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and the knobbly holdfast of the brown kelp, furbelows, Saccorhiza polschides, on the extreme right of the image. The rock is coloured pink by a covering of various species of crustose coralline algae. Photographed near ELWS on 10 February 2005. File No. 100205 654 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This is an image of the lower shore at La Valette during an extreme low water spring tide (ELWS) looking north along the coast. Red algae covers the rocks including Palmaria palmata, Mastocarpus crispus, and many other frilly reds. The reproductive thalluses of the pale olive green thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, drape over the rock and brown kelp, Laminaria sp., poke out of the sea on the right of the image.

sealord > This image of the lower shore at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast was taken from a platform of raised bedrock at the eastern end of 'overhang gully' overlooking 'cobble field'. The boulders with off-white surfaces have been turned over recently by shore gatherers looking for ormers, Haliotis tuberculata, (abalone). This area is greatly disturbed by ormer gatherers. Quick growing green seaweeds such as freshwater tolerant gutweed and sea lettuce, Enteromorpha sp., grow over the surface of the rocks. Palmaria palmata and thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, also grows profusely here. Living in the interstitial spaces between the cobbles and boulders are a great variety of species including sponges, cnidarians (anemones and hydroids), crabs and shrimps, bryozoans, and fishes.

sealord > During a big low spring tide on 19 April 2003 this ragworm, Nereis sp., while swimming vigorously in a stream on the lower shore at L'Eree on Guernsey's west coast, released copious quantities of white fluid from the tip of the tail. The gametes were carried downstream. After spawning the worm became lethargic. Notice the four red eyes on the top of the head, the two downward pointing antennae, and the long tentacles. There are normally two pairs of tentacles on either side of the head but some appear to be missing and those on the worm's right side have been reduced in length.
