When Spring arrives in Alaska, the coastal waters turn green with plankton.
Large shoals of Herring arrive to mate and eat the plankton, and hump
back whales come to eat them. The herring form the majority of their
food for the year. Stella and California sea lions also return from
the open ocean for the herrings. A few weeks later Grey Whales
arrive. |

If you come across a wreck at Snail Rock 35 miles SE of Ketchikan it could be the 'Westerner II' a Canadian fisherman's boat which sank August 2001. |

| Ann Coleman Wall |
This site is on the south shore of Auke Bay, north of Juneau, AK.
Take Fritz Cove Rd. about 1-1/2 mi. to Ann Coleman Dr. which
runs down toward the water; park at the public access and hike
down approx 75 yds. The entry is via a gravel beach down a steep slope of mud and shells to about 40'. Turn left to intersect the south wall, or right for the northern wall. Bare rock faces show occasional cracks where local octopus hang out (hence the empty shells) as well as varied rockfish, sculpin and other bottom fish. Ledges are found at 70' and 90' but drop-off continues to several hundred. Vis varies from 20-50', water temp from 38F in winter to 48F in summer. |
