We just spent a week at Salt Spring Island. What a wonderful diverse marine environment. We will be adding a spider crab and sea urchin to the marine displays at Quilchena Elementary.
We found a wonderful red - orange sea cucumber at the side of some rocks in the kelp. We carefully supported its body in our basin full of water to observed before releasing it again. What a beautiful specimen!
Anemone grow freely under docks where urchins dine and star fish cling.
The kelp and seaweed were teaming with shrimp and spider crabs. Everything was treated with respect and released with love.
The Gulf Islands are full of healthy aquatic animals and a great celebration of life!
We love our trips to our Pacific Gulf Islands.
It is always a great opportunity to get in touch with nature and teach our children the importance of sustainable fishing and living.
