Creatures of the Pacific Northwest

Jean-Michel Cousteau describes a colorful dive off the Pacific Northwest where cold, nutrient rich water helps support a rich ecosystem with an abundance of sealife. He describes encounters with giant Pacific octopus, wolf eels, sunflower sea stars, a rat fish, pink scallops. a cockle, a strawberry anemone, a matridium anemone, shiner surf perch, bull kelp, and a hermit crab. Jean-Michel says he loves diving in cold water environments because he loves the amount of colorful sea life that can be seen there.

I love the Oregon coast where I live just in land and in the Willamette Valley and can take a car ride to Newport Waldport Yachats Lincoln city region. Wolf eels have facinated me since my childhood first trip to the Oregon coast aquarium. Salmon sharks, octopus, squid, dungeness crab, lampreys, salmon, I love them all (wow I've not seen such activity from star fish and clams and the clams being so active) I love the environment in the colder waters and diversity of life it brings. It's facinating that they adapted to live in such environments. I have to respect them.

I think this may be the first time that I've seen bivalves actually swimming.
