High heat and low tides raise concerns for marine life

A heat advisory is in effect as some of the lowest tides of the year expose marine habitats across the Puget Sound region. Wildlife and shellfish experts say some marine species could be affected by the heat, though a widespread die-off is not expected. The extremely low tides are creating opportunities for beachgoers to explore tide pools and observe marine life. Officials are encouraging visitors to enjoy the shoreline responsibly and avoid disturbing exposed marine habitats. #komo #komo4 #komonews #seattle
