Charlie Seablom had a team of four working on the windy beach at Rolling Hills on June 13. They found four live moon snails (Euspira lewisii) by watching for bulging areas in the substrate, pushed up by the moon snail creeping along just under the surface. The group also found flatworms, purple ribbon worms, several green sea urchins and a small scavenging snail of the genus Nassarius. Charlie reports that his small but experienced team worked efficiently and work went quickly along the 260 foot profile line.
