Marine biology - Mariene biologie

🇬🇧 Two websites about one love: marine biology.

On this website - Mick’s Marine Life - you will find photos of all the species of marine animals and seaweeds that I have photographed during many years. See the next introduction for more information. On Mick’s Marine Biology you will find extensive articles and short posts (‘Shortly put’) about marine fauna and flora.  

🇳🇱 Twee websites over één liefde: mariene biologie.

Op deze website - Mick’s Marine Life - vind je foto’s van alle soorten zeedieren en zeewieren die ik gedurende vele jaren heb gefotografeerd. Zie de volgende introductie voor meer informatie. Op Mick’s Marine Biology staan uitgebreide artikelen en korte berichten (‘Kortschrift’) over zeefauna en -flora.
