sunlight poured through the ocean surface 3ft above this perfectly aligned sea anemone and created a rainbow iridescent effect on it which really made its tentacles stand out.

Sea Anemones (ah-nem-uh-nees) were named after Anemone flowers, a family of lovely, terrestrial flowers found around much of the world. Looking at colourful Sea Anemones swaying in the ocean current, one can see why they were compared to a garden full of beautiful flowers. However, unlike their namesake, Sea Anemones are in fact fearsome, carnivorous animals! Animals that can move and swim and will use their stinging tentacles to fight each other, stun their prey, and even swallow fish whole. While not all Sea Anemones are fearsome fighters, there are more than you might think and they are not to be messed with.

Ucluelet is the anglicized version of the Nuu-chah-nulth word Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ (means Ucluelet First Nations). This has commonly been translated as ‘People of the Safe Harbour’ or historically ‘Dwellers of the Protected Place Inside’. The Ucluth peninsula has been inhabited by the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ as far back as 4,300+ years ago.

Kelp forest in Ucluelet, BC. These underwater forests are critical for ocean life. When freediving kelp is the first indicators I look for in a prime spot to snorkel/dive around. I often see lots of life around these areas, not only critters under the water but I usually notice sea lions, seals, and otters nearby too.

Photo captured on the lands and waters, specifically of the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), on whose unceded ancestral lands the District of North Vancouver is located.

Looking up towards the sun through the tranquil green waters of Lynn Canyon. X̱á7elcha is the Squamish name for Lynn Creek. It is one of the places used for kw’ayatsut – a place to purify yourself. The Tsleil-Waututh people called the Lynn Creek area Kwa-hul-cha, referring to a settlement in the area.
