Category: Plants, Algae, & Fungi
Bamfield, on Huu-ay-aht territory, is a coastal biodiversity hotspot. This image was taken during a summer daytime low tide and captures the magic of Bamfield's lower intertidal seaweed diversity and includes seaweeds from all three phyla of algae (Ochrophyta, Rhodophyta, and Chlorophyta). Can you spot the clown dorid nudibranch (Triopha catalinae) amongst the seaweed?
