sealord > This image taken on the southern side of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast shows a field of the brown kelp, Laminaria ochroleuca, exposed by an extreme low water spring tide on the 21st March 2007. The Laminaria ochroleuca kelps have cylindrical stipes (or stems). In the middle of the image in the foreground there are some kelps with broad, belt-like stipes. These belong to the furbelows, Laminaria hyperborea. In the background is Salerie Corner and the Salerie quay. File No. BG 210307 7547 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This image was taken with a Canon S80 digital camera in an underwater housing. I placed the camera on the bottom of a tide-pool in Belle Greve Bay and pointed the lens skywards to photograph the canopy of algae covering the surface of the water. This brown algae is Sargassum muticum, which is known as 'japweed' locally because it most likely arrived from Japan via France where it was introduced with a shipment of oysters. Photographed on 4 January 2007. File No. 040107 5299 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The top surface of this pier at Salarie corner in Belle Greve Bay, which was completely clean of seaweed in April 2003 is covered on 9 March 2004 by an under-layer of green seaweed and a thick top layer of spiral or flat wrack, Fucus spiralis. The fronds of the spiral wrack are up to 18 inches long. This seaweed growth is one indication of the phenomenal productivity of Belle Greve Bay. Spiral wrack is a seaweed that thrives on sheltered shores. It grows near the top of the shore but below the band of channelled wrack, Pelvetia caniculata, which is the seaweed most suited to the upper shore because it tolerates desiccation.
