Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast

Marine life found in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Guernsey is the second largest island in the Channel Islands located between England and France. The gallery begins with general views of the bay followed by major groups of animals including sponges, cnidarians, worms, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, ascidians, fishes and ending with some algae.

This is a view taken on the 2 April 2007 of what I am calling crater pool (because of the high sides) in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. The image looks towards the north. If you compare this image with a previous image of this pool taken on 4th February 2007 you will see the amount of growth that has taken place of the invasive brown seaweed, Sargassum muticum. <br />
<br />
This is a small pool where I found two furrowed crabs, Xantho incisus; two candy striped flatworms, and three long-spined sea scorpions (sculpin family). Long-spined sea scorpion eggs were deposited under a tuft of the red algae, Corallina officinalis, on the left-hand pointed corner of the flat-topped rock under 'tog' of 'phoTOGgraphy in the Sealord watermark.<br />

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.
