The Salish Sea has such a fantastic amount of life. You can dive into the same site every day and see something new and different. Part of the reason for the diversity of life and landscape is that it's like a bathtub filled and emptied twice a day. I am often asked what some of my favorite animals and critters in the area are. Honestly, the Salish Sea is so diverse that my most common answer is, "it depends." Let's explore some of the common life you can find as you explore this area. The underwater world is a unique, fascinating, and complicated place. One of the many reasons this book exists is to provide a glimpse into the world that I love so much.
