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. 

Introduction - Introductie

🇬🇧 Each species has its own photo page. Use the main pages in the right column to choose a certain group of marine life. Or use the search engine to look for the full scientific or vernacular name (to search on your mobile phone: scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'view web version'). Do not forget to click the photos on the pages for a larger view. Enjoy watching!

🇳🇱 Iedere soort heeft een eigen fotopagina. Gebruik de hoofdpagina's in de rechter kolom om een keuze te maken voor een bepaalde groep zeedieren of zeewieren. Of gebruik de zoekmachine rechtsboven om via de wetenschappelijke of de Nederlandse naam te zoeken (gebruik je een mobiele telefoon en wil je een soort zoeken, klik dan onderaan de pagina 'view web version' aan). Vergeet op de pagina's niet op de foto's te klikken voor een grotere weergave. Veel kijkplezier!
