Who are you?
I don't know what this is. A kind of urchin? Barnacle? Anyone know?
A cloudy, calm, sweet day. Water is just slightly cooler than the air.
Coconut husk in the seaweed...
That's the skeleton of an urchin! Believe it or not, they love eating kelp. Sea otters eat urchins, though. When they hunted sea otters into near-extinction on the BC Coast, the urchin population went out of control and ate all the kelp, which are like undersea forests - lots of plants and animals thrive in kelp beds.
ReplyDeleteSea otters are making a comeback now, though, and people are replanting kelp beds up and down the coast. Kind of like treeplanting, except you drop a rock with a seed tied to it off the side of a boat.
