Commercial fishing is an expensive profession. The nature of the profession is that many fishermen lose large amounts of equipment at sea.
Some of this equipment will wash up on the shore.
One of the plastic litter items that washes up frequently is the plastic coating of metal framed shellfish pots.
The torn and broken plastic coating to the rusty metal frame of the parlour pot can be seen in this image.

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.
