Elkhorn Slough Foundation Nudibranchs, commonly known as sea slugs, are breeding and laying eggs here in the Slough. You can see their eggs at Kirby Park. The eggs look like white strips of ribbon. Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites, meaning they have the reproductive organs of both sexes.

net to trap small food particles.

Elkhorn Slough Foundation Do Great Whites ever cruise up the Slough? A fan recently asked this question. No, we've never spotted a great white in the slough, although they have been seen at nearby Marina Beach. However, there have been instances of dolphins and once, about 20 years ago, a gray whale made it up to Kirby Park.
