  • Inverclyde is a nice area with a great history

    Nothing at all about sea angling, the marine activity with the maximum number of participants – shame.

    Hello,

    I was wondering where you got the light microscope image of the diatoms you used in the “Monitoring Marine Phytoplankton” blog entry. I was hoping to use it as a part of some teaching materials I will be publishing but wanted to make sure to get permission from whoever took the image as well as give them credit.

    Thanks!
