sealord > The brown seaweed Fucus spiralis grows on the upper shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast.  It tolerates some desiccation while the tide is out which gives it a competitive advantage over other seaweeds less able to tolerate the stress of several hours out of water.

sealord > This image was taken with a Canon S80 digital camera in an underwater housing.  I placed the camera on the bottom of a tide-pool in Belle Greve Bay and pointed the lens skywards to photograph the canopy of algae covering the surface of the water.
This brown algae is Sargassum muticum, which is known as 'japweed' locally because it most likely arrived from Japan via France where it was introduced with a shipment of oysters. Photographed on 4 January 2007.

The brown seaweed Fucus spiralis grows on the upper shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. It tolerates some desiccation while the tide is out which gives it a competitive advantage over other seaweeds less able to tolerate the stress of several hours out of water.
