Puget Sound rockfish Sebastes emphaeus
The Puget Sound rockfish is one of the smallest rockfish species and has
a very slim body. Puget Sound rockfish range from Prince William Sound,
Alaska, to Punta Gorda, California. Adults have been found at water
depths of 3 to 366 m (10-1,200 ft). They prefer high-relief rocky
outcrops or boulder fields with high currents and often form small
schools. Puget Sound rockfish range from Prince William Sound, Alaska,

Pledge to Protect Southern Resident Orcas
Are you a boater? The southern resident orcas need your help. Boat noise
and disturbance make it harder for them to find and catch their prey.
Pledge to stay 1,000 yards away from J, K and L pods, and give the
whales the space they need to forage, rest and tend their young. There's
a pledge commercial and recreational boaters can take, as well as a
pledge for individuals and organizations. Take the pledge and give them space.
