The Carnota Wreck's metal surfaces are colonised by dense stands of plumose anemones, whose white and cream tentacles give the wreck a ghostly, otherworldly appearance in dive torch beams. These large suspension-feeders thrive on the current-swept site, capturing copepods and other zooplankton swept in from the open Atlantic.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
