Squat lobster, Galathea nexa, found at ELWS in Belle Greve Bay

The squat lobster, Galathea nexa, is usually found subtidally but I found a number of them at extreme low water during a big spring tide in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. They were under cobbles in a gully near Quaine rock on 20 March 2007.

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.
