The Guernsey community

This is a montage of images from Belle Greve Bay and the Queen Elizabeth II marina on Guernsey's east coast in the Channel Islands. The main photograph is of a tide pool in Belle Greve Bay. The old, discarded tire and the broken battery were photographed on the lower shore in Belle Greve Bay. They were exposed by a low tide. The two adult shanny (family blennidae) are native to Belle Greve Bay. The juvenile shanny was found in the QE II marina which opens onto the southern shore of Belle Greve Bay. The coke can was photographed floating in the QE II marina.

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.
