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 taken on the southern side of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast shows a field of the brown kelp, Laminaria ochroleuca, exposed by an extreme low water spring tide on the 21st March 2007. The Laminaria ochroleuca kelps have cylindrical stipes (or stems). In the middle of the image in the foreground there are some kelps with broad, belt-like stipes. These belong to the furbelows, Laminaria hyperborea. In the background is Salerie Corner and the Salerie quay. File No. BG 210307 7547 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > This image shows the holdfast of the brown seaweed, furbelows, Saccorhiza polyschides, in a tide pool in Belle Greve Bay. The knobs on the holdfast are reflective in the smooth surface water of the tide pool. Photographed on 5 November 2006. File No. 051106 4336 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > I believe this kelp is Laminaria ochroleuca which grows below extreme low water spring tide (ELWS) at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. This photograph also shows a damaged holdfast of furbelows, Saccorhiza polyschides, on the extreme right centre of the image. Most of the boulders on this shore at extreme low water are covered on the top side by a layer of crustose coralline algae, which gives the rocks an attractive pink colour. This image was taken on 1 March 2002. File No. 17-534 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
