Bull Kelp Monitoring March 5, 2019 - 10:44am

This past Thursday the MABRRI team headed out on Captain Ryan Fredrickson’s boat, “The Silver Bullet”, to check on our recently transplanted bull kelp plots in the Northumberland Channel as well as on the Winchelsea Islands. The water was flat calm when we arrived at the Marina, and with binoculars in hand we were lucky enough to spot some porpoises on the boat ride south to our first site, just south of Nanaimo. Myself and another volunteer, Mark Bright from Sundown Diving, suited up and hopped in the water at our Northumberland Channel site which is just north of Dodd’s Narrows.
