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!

Hello FHL Family and Friends,
We welcome the warm June weather and the end of the spring quarter, and are preparing for FHL’s busy summer season. This Tide Bite is by Jen Burgess, the first recipient of FHL’s Macfarlane Art Studio Fellowship, made possible by a very generous donation from our supportive donors Jan and Robbie Macfarlane.
