I shouldn’t have looked at the news bc then I wouldn’t know that Ken Balcomb has died. What an amazing life of science and conservation. #marinemammals #orcas #conservation #sanjuanislands #whales

It's back to the #RockyIntertidal of #Washington's #SanJuanIslands this #MarineLifeMonday, this time to visit an odd #seaweed group. Coralline red #algae are distant relatives of plants, but they're named because they look like some types of #coral. In fact, this similarity is more than skin-deep. Just as coral animals often encase themselves in calcium #carbonate shells, these algae line their cell walls with the same #mineral, making them much more rigid than other #seaweeds.

On other sites, #NOAA uses #MarineLifeMonday to share the #undersea wonders of their #NationalMarineSanctuaries, but it's a great opportunity to more broadly celebrate #oceanic life past and present and I'm hoping it catches on here! With that in mind, please appreciate this leather star (Dermasterias imbricata), an important #predator of other #intertidal #invertebrates along the West Coast. This one was spotted at a very low tide in Washington's #SanJuanIslands.
