Twenty two SeaHorses came out to listen to Bob Pacunski from WDFW. We learned about shark species, their habitat and ranges, and methods for tagging and tracking, plus the history and status of our Puget Sound groundfish, their habitat, the effects of overfishing and habitat degradation.
Our scheduled speaker, Lisa Hillier, is unable to attend, but she arranged for her colleague and fellow researcher, Bob Pacunski to come out and talk to us about sharks.
The sinking of the wooden hull steamship, the SS Central America, during a hurricane in 1857 was America’s worst peacetime sea disaster, claiming a loss of 425 lives and over 3 tons of California gold. Alan Scott, a key member of the team that rediscovered the ship in 1988, joined us and shared the adventure in recovering one of the richest treasures from America’s past.
Every year we have one special category in the Photo Contest for a specific type of marine creature. Last year, it was Cartilaginous Fish (sharks, rays, ratfish). Today we are announcing our 2026 special category: MARINE ARTHROPODS
