grunion run

Check out our latest YouTube video showcasing a compilation of our best grunion run footage. We captured this incredible display during the full Pink Moon of April 2021 (a.k.a. full Fish Moon). Learn about their unique mating ritual – see the female grunions laying their eggs whilst buried in the sand and the males surrounding them! Then watch as they wiggle up out of the sand and catch the high-tide waves back into the ocean! This fascinating natural phenomena is unique to the Southern California coast and part of Northeastern Canada.
