As we continue to survey East of Haig
Fras rMCZ we’ve seen more interesting marine life in the grab
samples and on the camera tows. Although the areas of mobile sandy
sediments in this site typically support a lower density of marine
life than more rocky areas, we have observed some interesting animals
on the seabed including a seven armed starfish. There have also been lots
of herring gulls following the boat, probably because they think they
might be able to get some fish (no such luck!)
