About 25 feet beneath the sea off Southern California’s Catalina Island, David Hornbaker had his eye on some blue-banded gobies. The mesmerizing fish have bright orange bodies with thin, electric-blue stripes, and are highly sought after by marine aquaria collectors like Hornbaker for their high resale value.
Grasping a squirt bottle, Hornbaker squeezed to release an opaque, cloudy substance over some rocks where several gobies were hiding. One darted from behind a rock and into the open, where it became incapacitated and ceased to swim. Hornbaker then gathered it into a small net and placed it in a container strapped to his side.

Where can you find flowers in the region?
Hereâs more about whatâs blooming and whatâs coming up in the coming weeks at public gardens, as of April 14.
The recent rain and cooler temperatures has helped slow the progression of flowers in the park, says naturalist Mary Ann Schlegel.Â
Along the wildflower walk, spring beauties, violets and Dutchmanâs breeches are in bloom along with plants like bedstraw, chickweed and lesser celandine, which some consider weeds. Trilliums are starting to bloom and bloodroot has gone to seed.
In another area of the park near Indian Rock, shade and wet conditions mean the plants are a few steps behind. Here, near the intersection of Rockford and Williamson road, bloodroot and cut leaf toothwort are blooming. Trout lilies will open soon.

The visit from the athletes also raises questions about violations to COVID-19 public health orders in both Quebec and B.C. Dan Moskaluk first encountered the group part of Équipe Cycliste Desjardins-Ford, a youth amateur sports team based in Quebec riding in the Naramata area late last month. Two groups of cyclists were riding in the Indian Rock area north of Naramata where he saw riders crowding their lane by riding two and three abreast, at times forcing traffic to veer into the oncoming lane on curving sections of roadway.
