Guide to Common Coastal Marine Species of Britain

HI i should be doing my dissertation at the moment but whilst searching through the net for I.D guides of native shrimps i discovered there was well a lack of I.D guides of anything useful really. Clingon language, cheats for computer games,someones pet dog and loads of other absolute bo***cks, but no I.D guides for anything other than tropical fish/inverts and fish that people wanna catch.just cos there not as shiney or cant eat em doesn't mean their not interesting.So here goes , if ur out for a wander, bump into something on the beach/in some rockpool and like me wondering 'wots dat' then here hopefully as long as i can figure out how to save this( i hate computers, give me something real!)you might be able to find out what it is,fingers crossed........here goes.

Ok so basically im gonna chuck a load of pictures down along with a title of what they are for now, then over time add links to each of them with more info,ok so cant find out how to add text onto new pages so its just gonna be one big page.......sorry magnus
