With the completion of monitoring for 2010, Camano Beach Watchers took the time to begin evaluation of data collection. You can find a set of comparisons in CHARTS that are linked at the bottom of the main Intertidal Zone webpage. Take a look at what collected data says about our species gains/losses on our shorelines. Then enjoy the pictures below from this year's monitoring.

Finally, a year when the Elger Bay monitoring landed on a sunny day! The shoreline seems to remain about the same. This year there were an abundance of sea stars but the real surprise was on the teal blue glove, seen below.
