Because I found two pieces of this perforated oyster spat collection cup or disc on the shore at Petit Port I expect the plastic oyster spat collector arrived on the shore intact and was broken up by wave action.
In total, I found five pieces of plastic oyster spat collection discs on this beach litter pick. I found in addition to these black pieces, two white pieces, and one red piece of plastic oyster spat collector. These plastic cups are used in oyster cultivation on the French coast.

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.
