This was such a great trip. I was very excited to get to go to the other side of the bay. This was a choice place to study intertidal animals, and to see all the plant life around the Pacific Northwest. We saw such a wide variety of animalsin the tides, as well as loads of plant life and molluscs. I very much plan to go back to Anderson Bay as soon as possible.
