The third beach monitored on April 26th was Pratts Bluff with Finn Gatewood at the helm. Finn and her team were delighted by the sunny weather. Kathy Fritts and Ingri Johnson both listed the discovery of a shaggy mouse nudibranch on their list of highlights. Virginia Allen liked the green sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) and Charlie Seablom stayed busy snapping photos of the sunflower stars (Pycnapodia helianthoides).
Join Island County Beach Watchers as they explore and survey the rich intertidal zone.
