Another low tide at the Freeland boat ramp - I walked all the way to the end of the concrete ramp, and the last several yards were covered in slimy, slippery sand/sludge. But the tiny crabs liked it just fine! Me, they didn't like so well, always scurrying sideways away from my steps. This one is about the size of my thumb-tip.
The main reason I went down there, though, was to see the red algae bloom. With warm weather and harbor pollution, we see some spectacular results!
I don't think it's harmful, but rather alarming if you don't know what it is! The birds, of course, are enjoying their low-tide feast!
