Here's what seafloor mapping looks like!

This image shows dynamic bed forms or sediment (sand) waves that map the potential habitats of the Pacific Sand Lance, a major forage fish in all of the Salish Sea. Here is a bathymetric image of the one habitat Professor Greene and his colleagues have been studying in the San Juan Channel, a field that holds over 3 million Pacific Sand Lance at one time.

    This is just beautiful! Gary is opening up a whole new world on the sea floor around the San Juan Islands for all of us to contemplate and admire.

About This Project

research-now.org

Research Now generates best available science to inform policy decisions.Research Now proposes a scientific investigation of two recently discovered faults, Skipjack Island and Sandy Point. New knowledge will lead to better understanding of seismic hazards near the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal site at Cherry Point, WA -- near the US-Canadian border. If built, it would be the largest coal transport facility in North America.
