A series of abstracts inspired by the colours of the ocean and my long career as a marine biologist. I have been lucky to spend so much time looking down my microscopes at the intricate details of marine flora and fauna and have done ecological surveys in beautiful places like Lundy, Salcombe and Lyme Bay. I have also surveyed more urban areas like London and Hong Kong. This gallery is my homage to seascapes and marine life<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
