Sunday Stamps | Fishes of the Sea


For today's theme on Sunday Stamps, Fishes of the SeaI have decided to upload these stamps from the USA. As you can see, I have got them on different combinations. Although dedicated to coral reefs, they feature also Fishes of the Sea. According with the stamps above, from left to right:
  • Elkhorn coral, shown with two French angelfish;
  • Staghorn coral, with bluestriped grunts;
  • Brain coral, with a spotted moray eel; and
  • Pillar coral, with a coney grouper and neon gobies.


In 2020, the theme chosen by EuroMed was Traditional Gastronomy in the Mediterranean. France participated with a stamp dedicated to the Bouillabaisse, a classic dish from Provence.


This stamp belongs to the series Fishing, issued by Royal Mail in 1981. See here the whole set.




And these belongs to the National Marine Sanctuaries issued by USPS in 2021. No fishing here!
