Pier Into the Night

Have you ever wondered how many creatures inhabit our harbors? Come find out by visiting Harbor WildWatch naturalists as we “Pier Into the Night.” Join us as we investigate the marine life in Puget Sound from a night-time perspective by placing underwater lights into the darkness drawing marine species into view that are seldom seen during the day. Watch ambushing squid, bioluminescent ctenophores, wriggling sea worms, darting shrimp, and rare butterflies of the sea. Investigate the underside of the dock, viewing plumed worms hanging out, sea stars on the hunt, and beautiful nudibranches prowling about the barnacle beds. This is an event for all ages. Please stop by and discover the wonder beneath.
