Thank you for visiting Sealord photography on Smugmug.
Sealord photography focuses on three themes:
Biodiversity with an emphasis on marine life
Sustainability relating to construction & urban development; energy; food; transport; and waste.
The Guernsey community
Guernsey butterflies
Dr. Charles David of the Guernsey Biological Record Centre ( http://www.biologicalrecordscentre.gov.gg/ ) and Richmond Austin (moth specialist) of La Societe Guernesiaise ( http://www.societe.org.gg/ ) have assisted me greatly in identifying many of the species I have photographed.
Any errors in identification are mine alone. Please contact me by email ( fishinfo@guernsey.net ) if you believe the identification of a moth or butterfly in this image gallery is in error.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
