Forage Fish on Beach : July4, 2015

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Garry Fletcher

This morning at low tide we came across several pacific sand lance on the beach. They had just spawned and lay dead on the beach awaiting the predators.

It is especially important through July and August, (note last year)when they are spawning regularly to avoid heavy traffic on the beach (especially horses).sandlance-2015-07-04
