Indian Island Birds and Marine Science on the Half-Shell Presented by Kwiaht

Where did the giant sunflower stars go? Are “red tides” growing more frequent? Do forage fish spawn in Fishing Bay? What birds nest there?

These and many more questions will be addressed as Kwiaht celebrates 17 years of science and stewardship at Indian Island with this year’s Tides of March marine science event. Attendance is free and family-friendly, as always.

This year’s event adopts a special focus on birds, with a slideshow presentation by Orcas artist and ornithologist Kim Middleton on “Birds in the Indian Island ecosystem” AND include Kwiaht’s annual ecosystem-health monitoring report for Indian Island and Fishing Bay. The event will also address the ongoing need to recruit additional volunteer docents.
