sealord > The common periwinkle is common on the shores of the UK and on the shores of France but virtually absent from the shores of Guernsey, Channel Islands. In Guernsey the periwinkle is replaced by topshells - particularly the toothed topshell, Oselinus lineata, and the purple or flat topshell, Gibbula umbilicalis. This is an image of a periwinkle, Littorina littorea, in a tide pool at Cullercoats north of Tynemouth on the North Sea coast of England. Photographed on the 18 March 2007.

sealord > The dark red seaweed, Calliblepharis jubata, growing from the bottom of a small tide pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Some of the fronds are intermingled with fronds of the pink coloured red algae, Corallina officinalis. Photographed on 5 January 2007. File No. 050107 5462 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
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.

sealord > This image shows the top of the quay or pier at Salarie Corner in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. The quay is covered in layers of spiral wrack, Fucus spiralis, on 9 March 2004. The previous April the quay was completely clear of seaweed. Each spiral wrack frond is about 18 inches long. File No. 090304 04 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The top surface of this pier at Salarie corner in Belle Greve Bay, which was completely clean of seaweed in April 2003 is covered on 9 March 2004 by an under-layer of green seaweed and a thick top layer of spiral or flat wrack, Fucus spiralis. The fronds of the spiral wrack are up to 18 inches long. This seaweed growth is one indication of the phenomenal productivity of Belle Greve Bay. Spiral wrack is a seaweed that thrives on sheltered shores. It grows near the top of the shore but below the band of channelled wrack, Pelvetia caniculata, which is the seaweed most suited to the upper shore because it tolerates desiccation.
sealord > This image and the following images of the pier at Salarie Corner need to be viewed together. This image was taken on 15 February 2003. It shows the pier with a covering of green algae, Enteromorpha sp. The following image in the series shows the pier approximately one year later with a covering of spiral wrack, Fucus spiralis. Photographed on 15 Feburary 2003 File No. 2-632 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
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.
