Actually ✨three raccoons✨ in a trench coat, living the researcher’s dream in Northern California, doing awesome fish stuff with an excellent crew, while working to uplift voices of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ scientists, and exploring TEK/western science overlap.
Ok guys! I have 9 day left to get to $3,000! Let’s make it happen!
Thanks to those who have already donated! Y’all are rockstars!

January.

Through the quiet winter air,
the Barred owl calls softly,
as we sit on the porch
watching the sun set
behind the redwoods,
with the distant roar of the ocean
fading into the evening,
and the full moon rising above.

One of my favorite critters: Brachiopods!
I grew up finding fossils of brachiopods from the Devonian era scattered on the shores of southern Lake Huron. When I was in my early 30s I finally got to see a living brachiopod in real life while scuba diving in Northern California.

Sheer excitement!! 🥳

We are not independent of the natural world, we are a part of it. It amazes me how many people feel so disconnected.

That air you are breathing came from a tree, the water you drink came from the river, and the food you eat grew from dirt.

Let’s do better.

Ever wonder how people fish for surf smelt? This is a technique that has been practiced by indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest since time immemorial. It was a beautiful summer day to be helping out with fieldwork for a grad student’s project at #CalPolyHumboldtFisheries

It’s really cool that western science is exploring and validating traditional cultural medicines. Cordyceps has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 700 years.

Hi all! I’m Katie Terhaar, M.Sc. 🦑(she/her). I am in Northern California working on sandy beach surf zone fish ecology, and on monitoring for invasive species in the Klamath River estuary. I also help out our current graduate students with their field work when needed.
