Our Monterey Bay is teeming with Rockfish!

I am now volunteering at the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Exploration Center across from the entrance to the Sant Cruz CA wharf. Via weekly e-mails, I receive all this really interesting information about the Monterey Bay. Here is a“This is an extraordinary year for rockfish recruitment,” says Tom Laidig, a NMFS scientist based in Santa Cruz.  An expert in juvenile rockfishes (the genus Sebastes), Laidig is excited about the prospect of not only high densities but also the variety of species showing up in 2013.  ”From our offshore survey data, this is the strongest recruitment year since the late 1980′s. Rockfishes are long-lived species (over 100 years for some species) and these episodic events are necessary for rebuilding the population sizes back toward historic levels.”

    I love birds; I love water; I love
    art. 
    I feel privileged to have found a way to combine
    these three elements 
    and create images of the birds I so enjoy.
