The
following list will likely change over time so keep an eye out for updates.
(August 2008)
We have used Andy's book "Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest" as a reference
and so are using the Lamb-Hanby Species ID letter/number code and the page reference
is where to find it in "The book". If you need a copy of "The book" and would
like to order one drop us an email and we'll make sure you get an autographed
one. I hope you find this as interesting as I do and I hope further you will come
and join us in exploring the Salish Sea soon.
