Barnacles et al.

 On barnacle covered rocks one can sometimes see tiny periwinkles between and sometimes in the barnacle shells.

In this photo as well as the periwinkles there are also tiny mussels. Notice also the pitting on the barnacle shells. (Click to enlarge photo) The pitting is said to be caused by a lichen.
Note: For more information on the small periwinkles and the pitted barnacles, I highly recommend 'Jessica's Nature Blog.'

Dear Largo Baywatch,

I am involved in the ABIOP+ project (https://www.france-energies-marines.org/en/projects/abiop-plus/) which aim to characterized biological colonization of underwater structures in Marine Renewable Energies domain.

As part of this project, I am working on an algorithm that will recognize what species are present on a picture. I need images of marine species (as the ones you took) to train this algorithm.
The final goal of my research work will be to publish my results in a scientific journal. To do so, I would have to publish the dataset of image on which my algorithm has learned.

I would like to know if you give me your permission to use your pictures to train my algorithm and then published them as part of a database, both being non-commercial use. Of course, I will credit you as the pictures’ author and keep you informed the date of publication.

Please find below the photos for which I am contacting you.
