My friend and very dear human, Jamie, lost their Dad unexpectedly this past week.. If you have the means, please consider helping them, no amount is too small. I would also ask that as you move through the world, please mask up and stay home when you are sick if you can.

Hi Emily and Emalie! I met you at Deadman Bay where I found you a grunt sculpin:) Just connecting here to keep following your work!

A great evening nightlighting with @noncompliantcyborg.bsky.social ! We saw a school of squid fly by, then the seal chasing them (who you can see nabbing a snack in the first clip!). #squid #cephalopods

Seattle area folks, come see me this Sunday at Rhubarb Market at The Woodland Theater.

I’ll have lots of ocean art, including a re-stock of glow in the dark sea slug patches I’ve been making this week.

A new species for me spotted off the docks in Tacoma, WA: Micronereis nanaimoensis. This female had a BUNCH of males hooked into her back end to stimulate her to lay eggs😱It was SO cool to see! #wormwednesday

White and brown slug with relatively large tubercles all over its body, a fluffy gill plume, and perky rhinophores. It’s crawling on some barnacles.
