Fish Quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey

Marine life living on the fish quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain

On the morning of 9 March 2007 during a period of ten to fifteen minutes I found eight Facelina auriculata nudibranchs on the north side of a pontoon that is next to the concrete fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey. The nudibranchs (sea slugs) were identified by Dr. Bernard Picton who is with the Sciences Division of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Northern Ireland. <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.
