Koeye campers and camp counsellors out on The Achiever
"Is it my turn to record the data?" Taking Koeye campers & camp counsellors out on The Achiever is so much fun! We practice the methods scientists use to survey whales and seabirds, including spotting, using markings to ID individuals, behaviour, and recording data. -
“Butterfly shells” on Calvert Island
Found this chiton plate on Calvert Island, on the way to Koeye. Chitons (a type of mollusc) have eight over-lapping plates on their back; it's easy to see why the plates are also called "butterfly shells". Did you know: Chitons have magnetite-covered teeth, which is unique among animals!
