sealord > Thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, growing on a boulder in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 16 March 2006. File No. 160306 468 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
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. File No. 100205 654 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This is a view from the southern end of Belle Greve Bay looking across the Little Russel (the passage between Guernsey and the islands of Herm and Jethou) towards the island of Sark on the horizon and the taller island of Jethou on the left. The rocks in the foreground are draped with the brown seaweed, thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and there are clumps of the red seaweed, Mastocarpus stellatus. Photographed with a 2.8 megapixel Olympus camera on the 9th March 2004. ©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.

sealord > This image of the lower shore at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast was taken from a platform of raised bedrock at the eastern end of 'overhang gully' overlooking 'cobble field'. The boulders with off-white surfaces have been turned over recently by shore gatherers looking for ormers, Haliotis tuberculata, (abalone). This area is greatly disturbed by ormer gatherers. Quick growing green seaweeds such as freshwater tolerant gutweed and sea lettuce, Enteromorpha sp., grow over the surface of the rocks. Palmaria palmata and thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, also grows profusely here. Living in the interstitial spaces between the cobbles and boulders are a great variety of species including sponges, cnidarians (anemones and hydroids), crabs and shrimps, bryozoans, and fishes.
