Thank you for visiting Sealord photography on Smugmug.

The Guernsey community
Guernsey Marine algae & seaweeds
This is an image of the steps leading down to the beach on the eastern side of the Salerie Corner quay which is at the southern end of Belle Greve Bay.
Gutweed, Enteromorpha sp. and Porphyra sp. begin to colonise the steps on the 2 April 2007 making them slippery.
The next image shows the same steps on 17 April 2007. The boulder in the top left-hand corner of the image can be used as a reference in both images.

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.
