			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since April 2008 I have taken the personal opportunity to volunteer at <a href="http://www.pugetsound.org/learn/parents/south-sound-pier-peer-explorations/?searchterm=pier%20peer">People for Puget Sound&#8217;s &#8216;Pier Peer&#8217;</a> events.</p>
<p>These events take place primarily at <a href="http://www.bostonharbormarina.com/">Boston Harbor Marina</a> in Olympia.  At about 9 or 10 pm on a Saturday, we assemble at the marina and lead participants to the docks where we have staged submersible lights.</p>
<p>These lights draw creatures to the surface where we can catch them, view them, and safely return them to the water at the end of the night.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this FREE family event!  Contact <a href="gbyrne@pugetsound.org">Gaby Byrne </a>at People for Puget Sound to reserve spaces at the next event (pre-registration is required).  See PFPS&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pugetsound.org/connect/events">events page</a> for dates, times, and location.</p>
<p>Below are photos of some of the creatures that have made appearances</p>
