As the weather turns cold and wet, conditions below the surface also changes. The Kelp dies off. Fresh water from rains infuse into the Sound, so the animals go deeper or die off. This is the circle of life. We will continue to report on the changes and its affects on our wonderful wildlife.

Your company, organization or you directly can bring the amazing underwater world of Puget Sound directly to local schools. Choose any school, or make a contribution and we will select a local marine biology program. For as little as $500.00, they will receive 25 copies of the award winning Puget Sound Underwater.
Thourouly researched, we have documented many of the animals that inhabit our cold local waters. We discuss the relationships between and effects from our mountains, rivers, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Salish Sea all have on our unique estuary.
Support schools and the eduction of our local youth, from primary, middle, high schools to college students. Contact Made In Puget Sound for more information. 

One of the most colorful creatures we have in out cold local waters is the Red rock crab (Cancer productus). Cancer productus is one of several species known as red rock crabs, and is commonly nicknamed the Pearl of the Pacific Northwest. I've uploaded a short video of a few different Red rock's. Please enjoy.
