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 image taken on the southern side of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast shows a field of the brown kelp, Laminaria ochroleuca, exposed by an extreme low water spring tide on the 21st March 2007. <br />
<br />
The Laminaria ochroleuca kelps have cylindrical stipes (or stems). In the middle of the image in the foreground there are some kelps with broad, belt-like stipes. <br />
<br />
These belong to the furbelows, Laminaria hyperborea. <br />
<br />
In the background is Salerie Corner and the Salerie quay.<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.
