Tidepooling at Eagle Cove

posted in: Natural History, Salish Sea | 0

On Wednesday October 14, 2020, I took a break from writing to join Giovannina and Brittany, a grad student here at Friday Harbor Labs, on their SCUBA dive at Eagle Cove. I didn’t get in the water myself, but helped schlep gear to and from the cove. While they were underwater, I explored the tidepools along the cove’s east edge. Here are some photos of what I found.
