nwgeogirl  > Invasive Tunicates > Ciona savignyi removal project at Sund Rock North Wall
Permission was obtained from WDFW to remove the invasive tunicate that's been overtaking Sund Rock this past year. Photos not credited are by Janna Nichols. The rest are noted and taken by JD Rowe. Volunteers were members of Washington Scuba Alliance and Pacific NW marine life surveyors for REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation).
