Sark's Seashore Caves

This image gallery shows some of the marine life of Sark's coastal caves and gullies. Sark is the third largest island in the Bailiwick of Guernsey after Guernsey and Alderney. It is a part of the Channel Islands, which includes also the largest island of Jersey.

More information on Sark's Gouliot Caves can be found in a publication produced by La Societe Guernesiaise. You can find out how to purchase this publication by visiting http://www.biologicalrecordscentre.gov.gg/files/gouliot.html

This expanded beadlet anemone, Actinia equina, was in a large pebble and cobble filled pool in the Gouliot cave system on the west coast of Sark, Channel Islands, Great Britain. The Gouliot caves that are filled with seawater at high tide run through the Gouliot headland. They are famous for their large population of closely spaced beadlet anemones. Sark's Gouliot caves were made a RAMSAR site in April 2007.<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.
