Two species of Mola in the NE Pacific Ocean

Post by YellowEye »

Hi.
There's been a recent finding that there are actually two species of Mola in the NE Pacific Ocean - Mola mola AND Mola tecta!

See this website for more info.
https://mersociety.org/mola

The site is asking for molas reports from bc and alaska but I asked and they said they'd also appreciate sighting forms filled out for Washington!

Now I guess I have two types of molas on my bucket list!
Visit pnwdiving.com for viz reports, slack planning, galleries and more! Your fellow diver will appreciate any viz reports you can add!
