PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the claims of H.L. Geiger and A.R. Holyoak (1996) that adult dorid nudibranchs displayed a distinct shade preference during laboratory test runs, and then to analyse their conclusions. Ryan M. J.

Since the provincial government does not have jurisdiction over fishing, the waters of Race Rocks and some other marine ecological reserves are protected by the Federal government’s Rockfish Conservation Area strategy. This program prevents fishing in the reserve. The problem is that it may not be permanent, so continued protection of all of the organisms

by: Santiago Salinas, January 2000. “The field work consisted of taking three variables (elevation, rock temperature and time underwater) and testing them against number of organisms. Three different populations were selected and a transect containing subsequent quadrats for each was used (a Mann-Whitney test was performed to determine whether or not there is a general

In February 1999 the hydrographic survey boat from The Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, B.C. did an acoustical bathymetry program which mapped the seafloor around Race Rocks to a depth of 100 meters. The project was under the direction of James Galloway. This project will eventually involve two other components as well, grab samples
Scott Wallace did research in 1997 and 1998 at Race Rocks with Pearson College divers. He studied the population dynamics of the Northern Abalone, Haliotis kamtchatkana. Included is a paper he published on the topic. See the linked file: http://www.racerocks.com/racerock/research/scottwallace/scottwallace.htm
