Many living communities inhabit Kachemak Bay - a
raft of sea otters, a roost of ravens, harbor seals,
beds of kelp, flounders flat on the sea floor, spruce
trees, humans, and humpback whales. We speak in Sugtestun,
Dena'ina, English, Russian, with a coyote's cry, a
marmot's whistle, the peal of a loon. There are the
silent ones, pink-flowered moss campion hugging an
alpine ridge, an outcrop of blue mussels, a swirl
of planktonic bloom.
