sealord > This is a view of the south side of the peninsula of raised rock looking east towards the Quaine pole in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. This image shows the shore at low water during the afternoon spring tide of the 17 April 2007. The Laminaria ochroleuca kelps have been exposed. Thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and red algae drape over bedrock and boulders. Patches of green Enteromorpha seaweed cover the ground. At the top of the image, in the middle, there is an outcrop of rock with an opening to a small cave in the centre which is where European sting winkles, Ocenebra erinacea, produced egg capsules during the spring tides of 17 and 18 April 2007. The yellow jacket of an ormer gatherer can be seen in the upper left-hand corner of the image. File No. BG 170407 7917 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > During the large equinoctial spring tide of March 20, 2007 ormer (abalone, Haliotis tuberculata) gatherers search the Guernsey shore for the delectable mollusc. The brown kelps in the foreground are Laminaria ochroleuca. Low water was at about 0.2 metres above chart datum at about 1400. In the distance buildings line the Belle Greve Bay waterfront.

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 > This shallow pool in the foreground with its scattered coralline algae covered boulders and cobbles is where I found the first Guernsey record for the nudibranch, Janolus hyalinus, on the 17 February 2007. See http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#131994356 The entrance to the Queen Elizabeth II marina and the cranes of St. Peter Port harbour are in the background.

sealord > The velvet swimming crab, Necora puber, is called a lady crab in Guernsey. These red-eyed crabs are fast moving and aggressive except during copulation when couples can be touched without any reaction. Necora puber lives under boulders and cobbles and will quickly move away when a stone is turned over. This individual was under a cobble in the cobble field to the east of what I call 'overhang gully' at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on the 29 April 2006.
