From Marcia Spees
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.
2012 research begins the first Sunday in April with low tide start times as follow:
Sunday, April 8 – invertebrate surveys – 11:30 a.m.
Monday, April 9 – invertebrate surveys – Noon.
Tuesday, April 10 – fish seining – 1:00 p.m.
Wednesday, April 11 – Upland survey (birds, botany).
Everybody is welcome. The IIMHO team is always looking for new volunteers if you would like to sign up to help throughout the season which extends to all low tides through August 2. For more information about volunteer opportunities, call Marcia Spees 376-4084.
Meet at the tide pools around the island. Wear appropriate footwear (wet sand, gravel, shallow water), and come on down to the beach!

Oops! I meant say the second Sunday in April. Today is the first Sunday in April. April Fool’s!
