I fell head-over-field-kit in love with the Salish Sea the first time I set eyes upon it, and each return visit has only served to deepen and enrich my affections for it. Naturally, whenever I’m given the chance, I revel in walking along its shores, both to admire its beauty as well as to seek-out some of the fascinating forms of life it holds within its waters, made visible to land-bound observers in its coastal tide pools (as well as in the superb educational displays of such visit-worthy institutions as the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea).
