Numerous specimens found in a small sediment scrape near the shore. Sample cleaned using a fine plastic kitchen sieve and then the remains in the sieve added to seawater and examined using a stereo microscope. Specimens found at Carnsew Pool, Hayle, Cornwall, 08.06.17.

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.
