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 Saturday, May 7 at the lowest tide between 2 and 4 p.m. Researchers will be seining and identifying forage fish in the eelgrass meadows.
The newly published Indian Island Field Guide is now available at Darvill’s for $2.99. This helpful key identifies species specific to the Indian Island inter-tidal zone.
Meet at the tide pools around the island. Wear appropriate footwear (wet sand, gravel, shallow water), and come on down to the beach!
