Thursday, July 13 – EXPLORE AMAZING REEF LIFE AT LOW TIDE!
Investigate and explore the extensive reef stretching between Hernando and Savary Islands with a myriad of life to find. This unique rocky reef with pockets of sand has a phenomenal variety of clams, shrimp, worms, chitons, snails, crabs, sea stars, sea urchins, bryozoans and tiny sand hoppers. Every colour of seaweed thrives here, along with sponges, corals, sea anemones and hydroids. Harbour seals and California Sea Lions haul out to rest on the reef. You might be lucky enough to watch a wandering garter snake fishing on the low tide. Naturalist George Sirk will guide you and introduce sub-tidal creatures from deeper water for you to touch and experience!
The walk will be over slippery rocks, seaweeds and sand so you need to be sure-footed. Rubber boots are a must to protect your feet from sharp-edged shellfish. We also recommend a walking stick.
Departs Cortes Bay at 9 a.m., returning about 4 p.m. Price $165
