Low Tide Rock pooling in Cornwall - Seaweeds, Crabs, Anemones and Underwater Sea Creatures.

Rock pooling and Beachcombing after bad weather can be really interesting. You honestly never know what you might find. In this video I identify and explain many different seaweeds and underwater sea creatures. Including a species I have never seen before.

I am going to be taking James and some of his classmates out for some shoreline education sessions in the summer. If we have any dates free would anyone else be interested? Government restrictions allowing of course. 😊

[@allornothing7957]

I would be! Depending on where exactly as I’d need to anchor out nearby (if the boats ready) haha love the videos!

[@philmurphy7532]

Yes John my girl would love that, and we are local

[@nigelmilne3503]

Wanted to do similar with my wee man's school but my work PVG (for a school) doesn't cover me for a different school. And the staff didn't want the kids getting dirty. Hope you have better luck than me lol

[@barbaraverdoorn9076]

I love the cushion stars. They are so tiny & just darling! I also think that plant you showed that pops if you squish them is cool.

[@johnbaxter3086]

@@philbench7622 personally I find it Interesting, as a fisherman myself, I've gained lots information which has helped, 🙂

[@TanukiSC]

I could watch these for hours at a time. Your respect for the sea and it’s creatures is truly wonderful. Thank you for sharing these adventures with us!

[@mstrdiver]

John - At 03:05, you are educating us about a seaweed variety called Oyster Thief with the floating bladders. Is this also a type of Sargasso Weed?

[@UKFishCam]

I love watching these videos they’re so interesting yet relaxing

[@justkeepfishingt]

👍

[@karenp1687]

I don't even fish or eat most sea food, but I love these videos. I could listen to him talk all day long!

[@arnonym113]

I don't even live close to the sea and still am mesmerized by watching your videos and how connected you are to nature. Thank you so much for sharing all these insights. I now even think about traveling to Cornwall some one day.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

It was so cute how the squat-lobster seemed so much calmer around you after you removed its parasite. I know I'm anthropomorphizing the little critter, but it always feels like creatures are saying _'Thank you!'_ when they do that~

[@TheFishLocker]

Interesting isn’t it. I have noticed that many times with creatures of the ocean.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

@@TheFishLocker Even some bugs will display gratitude, at times. It's bizarre behavior to see from creatures with brains smaller than a grain of couscous, but always such a warm feeling. They always know~

[@amybracey6149]

Wow, thank you. Amazing & relax full to watch. Laughed at what you called the crabs mateing

[@sleepingsanstheartist9741]

John: "I don't actually know what kind of sea anemone that is.." Me: *"oHNO-"*

[@TheFishLocker]

It does happen on occasion. Every day is a school day. I will generally know the family and the genus just occasionally not the exact species. 😉👍🏻

[@airbornesoldier8104]

HI JOHN , YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS OCEANIC IS JUST OUTSTANDING MATE . I APPLAUD YOU MY FRIEND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE AND ENLIGHTEN SCHOOL CHILDREN TO THE JOYS OF MARINE LIFE WITH A PROVISO TO SAFETY FOR ALL . YOU HAVE CERTAINLY WIDENED MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF SEA LIFE AND I WAS A FISHMONGER FOR TWO YEARS, BRAVISSIMO MATE !

[@xli69]

Another great video John, I came initially for the fishing but now addicted to the foraging videos. My kids love spending hours in the rock pools around us (Padstow way) and your videos have enabled me to sound like I know what I’m talking about 😁

[@MotoHikes]

Hey John - Been watching your content for well over a year now, and just wanted to say thank you for the peace and serenity you bring me. What's more, is it's been a large contributing factor to me going back into education to try and become an ecologist/marine ecologist. Thank you.

[@TheFishLocker]

That is amazing to hear and I wish you all the very best of luck on your journey. 😊

[@rainlawson7085]

You are a natural teacher. The kids will learn a lot. I know I have!

[@keihana15]

I grew up in an Island bit I'm still amazed every time I watch this kinds of videos. So beautiful and refreshing to watch.

[@Duckshavebigfeet]

You are a natural story teller with facts and content off the scale. Superb every time. 👍🏻

[@peidog]

Amazing knowledge and passion.....wet foot and wet jeans happy days.Thats some crazy amount of sea weed washed up.

[@boyse69]

Thanks John Love a fish locker Video before Sunday Dinner !

[@EUROWEFILMS]

I rcognise the shore, if i'm right, back in 1950/55 we used to play on the old beached German U boats, probably some remains still there somewhere.

[@TheFishLocker]

That’s down the far end. 👍🏻

[@davidb.7093]

(A) only marked down because it was too short! Always brilliant, educational and relaxing add to that great commentary and filming. Nice that your taking James and other children out on the beach to educate them. It used to happen when I was in primary school in the very early sixties, it should be part of the curriculum and coupled with education on litter and the need to conserve, perhaps the future would be in better hands.

[@TheFishLocker]

Sadly now there is so much red tape for things like this it often fails before it even gets started. Some things you just cannot learn in the classroom. 😊

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Hi John. I'll have to come down your way and go for a forage to get some green snake locks for my native marine aquarium series I'm doing. All the best Mark

[@redwingrob1036]

HAVE you got a Nordic aquarium? Is it on YTube?

[@katherinalastname7077]

I love the impromptu little parasite extraction! Very nice gesture

[@TheFishLocker]

Just doing what I feel is right. Have a wonderful day Katherina 😊

[@SusanJamiesonKennedy]

I love your videos all the way from the center of New York State. I love them all but the diving vids are my absolute favourite! Thank you all the time!

[@michaelsadventures4261]

I always enjoy your adventures.

[@the_internet_332]

I wish I could like this twice, excellent video.

[@TheBerendir]

love how you taught me soo much about sealife i can name most before you do now!!! this is what you calla youtube channel!!!! I got oyster thief wrong in my excitement i said thong weed immature plant! :P how thick am i :P always learning tho!!!

[@johnandrews6414]

Very good video John, learning a lot of things from your clips well done, stay safe family 😁😁

[@kitswithkaren5003]

Very enjoyable forage 🐻🤗👍

[@jg2072]

I've been watching for months but I still really appreciate your "basic" videos like this with the scientific names and such. I have worked on inland waters so this ocean stuff is new to me. Thanks for your hard work on the vids.

[@TheFishLocker]

It is my pleasure. 😊

[@Siddious09]

Just in time before my bedtime cheers!

[@redwingrob1036]

OVER so soon, your latest, FL☹️ I could've watched you for another half hour @ least. Never mind there's always next w/e. A refreshing change just to have an 'Observers Guide to Seashore life.' THOROUGH & thoroughly enjoyable, as usual.

[@TheFishLocker]

We have had some folks say that the vids over 30 mins are too long. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@marvinbush7304]

These videos of yours are absolutely wonderful. It's great to go beachcombing with you and so interesting to listen to your commentary. How did you ever learn so much about coastal environment?

[@me44567999]

Living in Cornwall myself, you Sir are a Local Legend.

[@jonathanmawdesley-thomas1863]

Another masterclass in flora and fauna on the sea shore .... thank you 😊

[@DannyCreech]

I absolutely could watch you doing this for hours. So interesting. You are to the sea creatures what Steve Erwin was to Crocks. Few people cared much about crocks and even feared them until he came along. You show up on the Sean and make tide pools way more interesting than they already are. Please keep making videos like this. BTW, cool accent.

[@debraanneclark2188]

Another fascinating and educational video not that I will remember it all. Fancy disturbing the spider crabs getting their thing on.

[@duanekennard3298]

Hello again to my friend on the other side of the pond ! Another fine video.I'm sure you have been told this many times but the nice thing about your videos are that if it's your first time watching or a long time viewer....All you videos are very informative and educational. Anyways my friend...You and your family stay safe and healthy. Hopefully we will be on the water chartering next week. CHEERS MATE !

[@nathanhendry9845]

Thank you for another great video John. Wonderful to see all the diverse colours of the sea life and sea weeds.

Great vid as usual.My Daughter still loves rock pooling (As I still do) and she is 21 now!..The last time we had big easterly's (The Beast from the East) on our coast the stuff that got washed up was unbelievable,They even did a rescue mission for the Lobsters as people were taking them home by the wheelbarrow.The tons that got saved were taken out to deep water.Black Lug and razors everywhere and hundreds of Octopus plus fish species we never thought lived in the North sea.
