Join Naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a fun adventure to the shore of Fidalgo Island to explore tidepools and learn about shoreline ecosystems of Northwest Washington state.
We will learn to identify as many of the beautiful creatures living in the tidepools as we possibly can in a few short hours, as well as several types of edible seaweeds that are common to our local beaches.
There is a vast array of organisms that we can hope to find including anemones, sea stars, mollusks, crabs, chiton, barnacles, and so much more. With sweeping views of the protected waters of the Salish Sea from a rocky outcrop, we may even see dolphins or whales.
We live in an incredibly beautiful area, and we owe much of that beauty to the Pacific Ocean. Let’s go explore marine diversity in July together! You will be amazed at how much we find!
Details about location and driving directions will be provided to registered participants. There may be opportunities to carpool.
