Made a couple of trips to Puget Sound. Here are a few of the resulting images. The first two, and the foraminifer are from algae collected at a low tide. The second and third were collected with a plankton net

Lovely images!
Re plankton net. Were you on the shore or on the water?

Amazing shots. 3rd one is my favourite.
What mesh size plankton net did you use?

Thanks for the replies. My plankton net has an 80 micron mesh. I use it with a fishing pole off, and generally work with it off fishing piers or boating docks.

Do like the casting rod idea. It makes using a plankton net a much more viable proposition. Thanks

Yes it's worked out well. But you do get some strange looks from people wanting to know what you are fishing for
I once even had a fish & wildlife enforcement officer come up to me wondering what i was doing.
