There's no place like Seward, Alaska ❤️ We're fortunate to share our home with incredible wildlife from the land and ocean. Let's work together to protect and respect them by keeping our distance and using a big zoom on cameras or phones while observing from a distance.

Even ASLC staff don’t get to see the northern abalones move frequently, as these unique gastropods are primarily sedentary. Except for feeding time, that is! Abalones clamp down kelp with their foot and then munch with their radula, a tongue-like band with many small teeth.

Alaskans! It's the last week to apply for your PFD if you haven’t already! Don't forget that Alaskans can choose to Pick Click Give to nonprofits doing critical work in our communities. Every donation makes a difference to Alaska non-profits! bit.ly/ASLC-PCG
