Species found in a sample of marine fouling taken from a pontoon at East Pier, Hayle, Cornwall. 07.06.18.

Identity of the species here is not yet verified but appears to be the same or similar to the species found in the book "Coastal Phytoplankton" by Kraberg, Baumann and Dürselen, although the specimen here was found in early June, so quite late.

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.
