Session Title: Species and habitats of emerging concern
Session Chair: Henry Carson, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, henry.carson@dfw.wa.gov
Session Description:
In this Salish Sea potpourri, we sampled the tremendously broad scope of research taking place in the region. It was a whirlwind tour of understudied habitats, such as glass sponge reefs, understudied species, such as rare cetaceans, and threatened animals, such as pinto abalone and sea stars. The journey ranged from the shoreline, with intertidal fish passage concerns, to its murky depths, inside the giant pacific octopus den.
