Friday Harbor Monitoring Project Update

On February 11, Russel led a group of volunteers on a walk on the Port docks to find and identify additional marine species. As a result, Russel and Anne Harmann took some great photos for our field guide. Monitoring will begin in March. If you have not already signed up, please email Dennis Linden at seahermit@rockisland.com or give him a call at 370-5464. Dennis will be contacting those volunteers soon to talk about their monitoring assignments. Anne Harmann is our "chief gear builder" and will be assisting those to have volunteered to build the various bioindicator boxes and the bait and light traps we will use.

Other news -- Dennis has also volunteered to write the project brochure, and Russel said our project logo would soon be completed. Your help is also needed in the areas of public outreach and compiling the field guide. If you have an interest in these areas, please contact Andrea Wieland at pcgsea@pcgsea.com or phone 378-3899.

Looking forward to seeing you all "on the docks."
