Hoped to clean the underwater camera today, but underwater visibility was bad and combined with neap high tide meant that it was not possible. The water temperature has dropped in the last week and is now 7.6C.


Walking back along the Lyme Back shoreline showed that the beach profile has changed again in the storms of the last few days. They have also thrown up a lot of cuttlefish bones. The majority are from the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, but some were much smaller and may have been from a different species. The majority of the debris thrown up on the beach is of natural origin, seaweed, cuttlefish bones, branches etc. There is a small amount of man-made debris such as a chest freezer, sawn timber, and oil.
