A Marine Biologist

An approach for me to study better, and you can learn about marine biology at the same time! Now includes my current tall ship travels and working on experiential educational marine science programs.

The red abalone, Haliotis rufescens, is a species of very big edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae (the abalones, ormer shells or paua).

It is the largest, and most common abalone found in the northern part of the state of California, and it is the only species of abalone still legally harvested (on a restricted basis) there.

The red abalone’s shell length can reach a maximum of 31 cm, making it the largest species of abalone in the world.

The shell is large, thick, and dome-shaped. It is usually a brick red color externally. Typically the shell has three or four oval respiratory pores. The inside of the shell is strongly iridescent and has a large central muscle.

Boss of the Cave - Giant cuttle - Sepia apama #marineexplorer by John Turnbull Via Flickr: This big cuttle was happy to pose in the entrance to its cave - but was clearly the ruler of this domain. If I came too close it would come out and ward me off - but at the right distance would just hang there unconcerned. Fairy Bower
