Keystone Jetty, February 20, 2024 dive. Seaweed edition :). The currents floated in piece of Small Giant Kelp, resident of the outer reaches of Salish Sea.

Deception Pass, February 18, 2024. The yellow egg capsules laid by Leafy Hornmouth snails are very common in our waters. For the first time, I found the tiny snails hatching out of these capsules. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-fS3G69C/0/DkXBctfn8g5tG9Qq8sML2LFHFvnBw7tgj5tgmwLLq/XL/2.18....
