Join local scientists and community volunteers at Eastsound Waterfront Park in conducting surveys of fish and inter-tidal creatures on low tide days during the spring and summer. Learn about the unique marine life of our home waterfront.
The next Field Research Day is Thursday, April 21 at the lowest tide between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Citizen scientists from Kwiaht, BeachWatchers and the general public will be seining and identifying forage fish in the eelgrass meadows.
Meet at the tide pools around the island. Wear appropriate footwear (wet sand, gravel, shallow water),and come on down to the beach!
The newly published Indian Island Field Guide is available at Darvill’s for $2.99. This key identifies species specific to the Indian Island inter-tidal zone.
