What a great week! Tons of field work in the mudflats last week and got to spend last Friday with all the fellow SeaGrant scholars at Beverly Beach. We went to the Newport Aquarium and I got to spend my birthday with friends while exploring Eugene. Bought my first wetsuit and plan on giving surfing a try this week! Please enjoy the photos below that show all the nifty native creatures of the Pacific Northwest coast. Also I highly recommend clicking on the Otter_Video link below. You won’t regret it!

Hagfish are not exactly the best looking fish, but they are used as a fake eel skin in a lot of clothing
Baby Pacific octopus
Puffin’ puffin his chest
I see you’re picking up the puns too! Great pictures. How thick is the wetsuit you bought?
