Field Notes

Description:

Juvenile garibaldi fish are yellow-orange with iridescent blue spots and do not mature until five or six years old and eight inches long.

Habitat:

Located at the edge of the Catalina Casino building, the Casino Point Marine Park is Southern California's first city-designated underwater park. Established in 1965 by the City of Avalon as a reserve, Casino Point Marine Park has an abundance of marine life, giant kelp forests, and several shipwrecks to explore. Several artificial reefs have been established to provide additional habitats.
