and diversity of marine life that can be found in coastal waters
and intertidal areas of Great Britain and Ireland by David Fenwick.

Specimen found in sample of sea squirts, tunicates, taken from pontoons at Mylor Marina, Mylor Churchtown, near Falmouth, Cornwall. 18.09.15.
Species kindly identified as Notodelphys cf. caerulea by Prof. Geoff A. Boxshall FRS of the Natural History Museum, from sample.
Species likely from Ciona intestinalis, the Yellow vase sea squirt; but Dirty sea squirt, Ascidella aspersa, also collected. Species here was found after the sediment in the bottom of the collection container was strained through a 1mm square hole plastic sieve (a 99p one from a supermarket), and strained material placed in fresh seawater and looked at under a stereomicroscope.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
