High Tide in the Salish Sea - Underwater Wildlife

Below the waters of the Salish Sea, in the long fjords of Puget sound, may be found a vibrant and diverse ecosystem of bizarre and mysterious creatures hidden in plain sight from the metropolis that lines the narrow channels and wide bays of this glacial landscape. Crabs, pipefish, anemones, jellyfish and many other creatures call this subterranean realm home, and at high tide they crawl from the depths and from hidden crevasses to feed and journey across the ocean floor, their fins and shells and carapaces lit in the shimmering patterns of the refracted sun beaming down through clear salt water.
























Photos and video were captured with the Olympus Tough TG-6 - the DJI Osmo Action was also used to film the video.
