In this unit:
How do the shorelines of the Salish Sea support forage fish, salmon, and orca. Swim through kelp beds and up the river with spawning salmon!
Our back yard (the Salish Sea) is home to some of the most wonderous creatures. From the Giant Pacific Octopus, some of the most colorful nudibranchs, the oldest living Rockfish, wild salmon, orca whales… and so much more. There is a lot going on just under the surface of the sea to thank for that! This learning module or supplement to your curriculum focuses on the habitat that supports the biodiverse marine food web of the Salish Sea. Click through below to explore more!
