what you will find from, sea stars, mollusks, bright sea anemones, crab,
octopus, seal and otters all live in these waters.
Yes there is more to Kachemak Bay then just the magnificent fishing to fill
your vacation.
Sea stars are radically symmetrical, and their arms are arranged around a
central disk. Most species have five arms; however sun stars can have
as many as 40 arms or more! Most sea stars are small usually measuring
12-24 cm across, but there are some species that can be very small or
very large.
Mollusks are an amazingly diverse group of animals that live in a wide variety
of environments. They can be found inhabiting trees, gardens, freshwater
ponds and streams, estuaries, tidal pools, beaches, the continental
shelf, and the deep ocean. Some mollusks are excellent swimmers; others
crawl or burrow in mud and sand. Others remain stationary by attaching
themselves to rocks, other shells, or plants; or by boring into hard
surfaces, such as wood or rocks.
The Kenai Peninsula of Alaska is perhaps the most famous salmon fishing locale
in the world. However, salmon fishing is not the only draw of this spectacular
area. Along the beaches of the western side of the peninsula, another
popular activity is becoming popular with visitors to the Kenai Peninsula
... razor clamming.
A little smaller than a dollar bill, and roughly an inch and a half thick,
razor clams (often referred to as simply 'razors') are amongst the most
highly cherished of all Pacific seafood (even in the areas they come
from, razor clam steaks sell for around $9-$12 per pound). The beaches
from just north of Homer to the Kasilof River mouth are home to one
of only eight major concentrations of razors on the entire Pacific Coast
... although they can be found scattered from Pismo Beach, California
to the Bering Sea.
