I may or may not be positively obsessed with the Seattle Aquarium and our friends there.

At the Seattle Aquarium, you can learn more about the local marine life as well as learn about conservation and research efforts. Through local collaboration and education, we can work towards lessening and possibly even reversing the harm we’ve done to our environment.

Nudibranch

Chromodoris willani (nudibranch)

Reef hawkfish

Map pufferfish
