We surveyed four sites, all within the LA/Ventura recovery unit. While we did not find any tidewater gobies today, we did encounter a number of California native species such as juvenile arrow gobies ( Clevelandia ios ), juvenile starry flounders ( Platichthys stellatus) ,...]]></description><link>https://solomonadams178.wixsite.com/solomonnadams/post/tidewater-goby-surveying-field-day-2</link><guid isPermaLink="false">693d07444992c1bfd5d9e549</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Dec 2025 01:26:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf8267_460c1f8560f446e9b95bc06d8eb2689f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Solomon Adams</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Western Society of Naturalists 2025]]></title><description><![CDATA[November 7-9th, 2025: This weekend I got the opportunity to go to the Western Society of Naturalists 2025 meeting in San Diego with my Coastal and Marine Resource Management class.
