On Monday April 27, an intrepid group of naturalists from Pacific Science Center headed to Indianola beach to replenish our tidepool population. Taking advantage of exceptionally low tides, the team returned with an amazing assortment of anemones, arthropods, echinoderms and mollusks. Come visit the newest residents of our Puget Sound Salt Water Tidepool. Friendly PSC Science Interpreters are happy to share their knowledge of these wonderful intertidal organisms.
We have lots of Hermit Crabs

This year’s collectors from the Life Sciences department included Brianna Todd, Adrian Eng and Maida Ingalls. Pacific Science Center staff Portia Lingwood and Sarah Bradshaw helped collect as well.
As in the past, we are grateful to PSC volunteer John Aurelius and the Indianola Beach community for allowing us to collect permitted animals from their shores.
