Exploring Our Estuary: The Rich Life of Kwil’akm (Deep Bay)
On a warm summer day, I explore my island’ largest estuary – a creek, ocean-mouth lagoon, and bay – to witness the wild living of this small stream estuary ecosystem. From crayfish and trout, to algae and stickleback fish, to oysters, clams and eelgrass, I witness a fun and engaging diversity of life.
