Скачать или смотреть Under water sea tour of Laxey Bay

This video was filmed on 20th May 2025 at Laxey, Isle of Man. The first part at Garwick bay and the second at the rocks to the south side of Laxey beach.

The Isle of Man is "the only entire nation biosphere" with a number of protected sea areas around the island meaning no commercial trawling or fishing, Laxey bay being one of those protected areas. You would expect to see a considerable amount of sea life in Laxey Bay, with lots of shell fish, pollock, all species of flat fish etc. Garwick for example is a sheltered bay to the south of Laxey bay, how many fish did you count? How many crabs and lobsters around the rocky bits?

The reason there is very limited sealife is highly likely due to the raw sewage being pumped into the bay at Laxey breakwater and at Garwick bay. Plans are in place to create treatment plants for the Laxey Bay area but these are going to be a few years away yet. Biosphere? Really?
