Rockpooling and nature journaling the day before the #ICESASC26 in Brest. Tides and the Atlantic shores with their massive algae are a miraculous thing when you are used to the microtidal Mediterranean 🤩

A nature journal page. The spread shows a rocky coastline at low tide with a kelp forest emerging, below that an illustration of a lighthouse on a cliff. On the right side of the spread details of the kelp and a leaf of the brown alga Fucus serratus. Done in watercolour.
