This clam may not resemble an oyster or a scallop, but they are all from the same mollusk family. While its physical features may be disturbing to some, the geoduck (pronounced “gooey duck”), is an interesting species that more people should know about. The species is quite entertaining to look at and might bring on a few laughs, yet the geoduck is an intriguing creature with neat skills and strange, yet effective behaviors. The project is assessing whether growing seaweeds can induce positive net changes in carbonate chemistry while providing habitat and a local sanctuary for sensitive marine organisms against effects associated with ocean acidification and associated changes in the carbonate chemistry of seawater.It is common for people to be awestruck or even confused when they see a photo of a geoduck.
