Living reefs
Pretty hard to find photos as many are in murky water. This painting (I think TNC own it)
might work

Kelp forests
Lots of choice for some excellent shots. Nice to have one showing very large size of the
kelp strands
Mudflat:
For example here near Mont St Michel

(alternatives large flocks of wading birds or close-up of worm-casts over mud)
Rocky shore
Examples showing intertidal zonation would be ideal

Title:
Lena River Delta, Russia
SPL Reference Number:
E552/112
Lena River Delta, Russia, satellite image. This is the mouth of the Lena River in the Arctic, where water (dark
blue, flowing bottom to top) branches into many channels as the river meets the sea. The sediment washed
downstream by the river forms new land (green). Higher land (along bottom, red and yellow) channels the river's
course. The Lena is 4400 kilometres long and drains a large region of Siberia, flowing into the Laptev Sea of the
Arctic Ocean. The delta supports much marsh wildlife. The image is over 150 kilometres wide. Image acquired in
visible and infrared wavelengths on 27 February 2000 by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor on
NASA's Landsat 7 satellite.
