Three small 1.5mm specimens were found on looking closely at fine sediment in the bottom on collection containers. The pupose of the collection was to take samples of fouling from the marina pontoons and check through it to build a species list for the area. Newlyn Marina, Newlyn Harbour, Newlyn, Cornwall. 11.07.15.

The species here is unclear due to size. Numerous juvenile specimens will eventually appear here to see if juvenile specimens can be identified from photographs of their plates taken under the microscope.

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.
