sealord > A view of Belle Greve Bay looking towards Guernsey's east coast on the 20 March 2007 during a big low spring tide.  The Laminaria kelp is exposed by the 10 metre drop in the sea level. This low tide provided an opportunity for shore gatherers to collect ormers, Haliotis tuberculata. The fishery for ormers is strictly regulated.

sealord > The red seaweed in the centre of the image is Plocamium cartilagineum.  This was photographed on the lower shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 10 February 2005. Notice the mushroom-like caps of the first year's growth of thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and the knobbly holdfast of the brown kelp, furbelows, Saccorhiza polschides, on the extreme right of the image.  The rock is coloured pink by a covering of various species of crustose coralline algae.
Photographed near ELWS on 10 February 2005.

sealord > This is an image of the lower shore at La Valette during an extreme low water spring tide (ELWS) looking north along the coast.  Red algae covers the rocks including Palmaria palmata, Mastocarpus crispus, and many other frilly reds. The reproductive thalluses of the pale olive green thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, drape over the rock and brown kelp, Laminaria sp., poke out of the sea on the right of the image.

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.
