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).

nwgeogirl > Our starting point in about 50 feet of water at Sund Rock North Wall. We used the line and reel to create a boundary within which we would work to remove tunicates. The yellow line goes up to a marker buoy so we could find our place on the 2nd dive. The measuring stick is on the ground. Photo by JD Rowe.
nwgeogirl > Signs of stress still are apparent at Sund Rock, although the fish are slowly returning down to their usual depth limits.
nwgeogirl > Another section further up the wall. Again, each tick mark represents 10 cm.
nwgeogirl > Oh no! What's this? The Giant Red-Bearded Tunicate? (aka Lowell)
nwgeogirl > The gang at the end of the day!
