February 2020 Tide Bite
Greetings,
Most readers are aware that FHL has been connected for over a century with marine biological and oceanographic work in the San Juan Islands. Fewer may know that there has been almost a century of geological work done here too, most of it with UW connections.
Friday, January 24th: Dinner & Lecture!
Join us in the FHL Dining Hall for this special event.
Dinner at 6 pm, than a talk by Véronique Robigou and John Delaney: “Weaving Art & Science to Create Ocean Tapestries”
Call the FHL Office at 360-378-2165 to reserve your spot!
January 2020 Tide Bite
Greetings,
Our first Tide Bite of the new year describes some work done below the tides here in the San Juans: a long-term monitoring effort on the status of communities of seaweeds and invertebrates attached to the rocky walls that characterize most of the channels between our islands.

Greetings,
This month’s Tide Bite describes the experiences of a more advanced student than some of our other stories, which have often chronicled the adventures of undergraduates and graduate students. Sebastian is a postdoc who shares the love of field stations, marine organisms, and San Juan Island that many others have expressed.
November 2019 Tide Bite
Greetings,
This month’s Tide Bite highlights the blending of art and science – two fields that might seem at odds, but not at FHL! We encourage these cross-disciplinary interactions, including Adam Summers’ work mentioned below and in previous events that combined poets, writers and marine scientists.
October 2019 Tide Bite
Greetings,
This month’s Tide Bite is written by one of our FHL success stories, a young woman who first came here as a post-bac to take a Fall course. She returned as a technician and diving student, got pulled into a fascination with eelgrass as a result of her research, and then applied to graduate school building on those experiences and was accepted at Cornell!

Greetings,
This month’s Tide Bites describes a lovely story of biological serendipity and the enormous value of our scholarship program. For over 100 years, students have been getting swept up in the passion of studying live marine organisms and their habitats while based at FHL.
