Guernsey commercial crab and lobster fisherman Chris Marquis found a buoy from Rhode Island, USA in the Big Roussel between Herm and Sark on 28th August 2008.

The buoy was identified as belonging to a Rhode Island lobster fishing boat called 'Stormy' with registration number 598951.

The striped goose barnacle, Conchoderma virgatum, which is a North western Atlantic species was found alive attached to the Rhode Island buoy, which had been carried across the North Atlantic Ocean to Bailiwick of Guernsey waters.

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.
