Come ‘Pier Into the Night’ with Harbor WildWatch in Gig Harbor
Pier Into the Night invites adults and kids to observe marine activity that occurs in the Puget Sound from a night-time perspective. Submersible lights are in place below the pier to illuminate underwater activity in Gig Harbor Bay. In the same way that porch lights attract insects, the underwater lights attract marine species that are seldom seen during the day, including ambushing squid, sparkling ctenophores, and wriggling sea worms.
Pier Into the Night is free and open to all ages, though a donation of $1 per person or $5 per family is appreciated. The program focuses on introducing visitors to, and generating excitement about, the marine environment that makes up Puget Sound. Parents are encouraged to make sure their children are wearing a flotation device on the dock for safety.
