The most visible outcome so far of the Indian Island MHO project is a very impressive 4-page, full-color field guide to the fish and invertebrates that have been seen at Indian Island. The photo here doesn't do it justice, but gives you an idea of how much excellent information it contains. The brochure was first displayed at the Indian Island event on Orcas (see the following article.) It will be for sale ($2.95) at Darvill's Bookstore for visitors to bring with them when they visit the island. Who knew there were eight different species of sea stars to look for on low-tide walks? or that nudibranchs could be so beautiful? or that there is a crab who "decorates" himself with algae and sponge as camouflage!
