Pollution

1 / 4

A sign on the pavement (UK) or sidewalk (USA) near a storm or street drain states "no dumping only rain down the drain" and "Report Pollution" and it has a picture of a crab on it. Signs like this serve a useful purpose because they remind people that in many parts of the world what gets dumped on the street or down the drain invariably ends up in coastal waters. Non-point sources of pollution can cause injury or death to aquatic organisms.

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.
