Well yes there was, but he was quite dead .. A surprize to see this one as I don’t believe they live on Vancouver Island – yet! Maybe this one was washed up from somewhere in the US gulf islands??

Recently I opened an account on iNaturalist.com . I have been able to add many pictures of species taken around the Metchosin coast, as well as other locations. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/garryfletcher
It is a great idea to contribute to the Metchosin Biodiversity program, and opening a free account on iNaturalist is a good way to do it. If you have images on iNaturalist of Coastal organisms around Metchosin I would be glad to link to them here.
