According to the Plymouth Herald * [a newspaper, not a hitherto unheard-of officer of arms!] :
"The new coat of arms shows the range of sea life studied by scientists at the Plymouth-based institution.
"A shark, prawn, plankton, sea horse, shells and seaweed all feature prominently and a squid is shown with its tentacles wrapped around a microscope."
Does anyone know of any other arms which feature plankton?
