Sand hopper, Talitrus saltator, from Saline Beach on Guernsey's west coast

I collected this Sand hopper, Talitrus saltator, from the sandy beach at Saline Bay on Guernsey's west coast. I was at the top of the beach on a warm misty day. I watched sand hoppers coming out of the sand and jumping down the beach towards the rising tide. Black headed gulls were waiting to feed on them. When the tide reached the strand-line of dried up seaweed and flotsam a huge swarm of sand hoppers jumped away from the rising tide along the length of the beach.

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.
