		Hornby Island's Flora Islet is unique in that it is one of the few places in the world where sport divers can see the seemingly docile six-gill sharks.
		While the island residents remain mindfully protective about preserving their idyllic rural atmosphere, the recent emergence of coffee bars, arts and craft shops, pottery studios, and quaint bed and breakfast establishments in no way detracts from Hornby Island's pleasantly pastoral feel.
		While Hornby Island is perhaps best known for the summer sightings of six gill sharks, there are many other diving attractions nearby.

		Denman is a long slender, forested island, a little over 30 square miles in area, with a quiet, low-key community and a total population of about 1000.
		Hornby is physically smaller than Denman (under 20 square miles in area) and oval shaped except for an arm which juts out to the east forming one side of magnificent Tribune Bay, which offers good swimming in comparatively warm water (some rate it as the finest sand beach in the Gulf Islands!).
		Hornby has a remarkable community, perhaps due to its isolation, with an impressive island-wide recycling system an exceptional community hall, unmatched for architectural ingenuity, and a charming village center at the Island Co-op.

		For the last five years I've been traveling to Hornby Island, BC to dive and play with the Stellar sea lions that migrate there during the winter months to wait to feed on the annual herring spawn.
		Turns out the blue headed guy I ran into on Hornby was one of twelve instrumented animals that are part of this year's study on foraging behaviors.
		Compared to older animals, our preliminary finding suggest these young dependent animals, and their mothers, may be less mobile than other sex- and age-classes, and thus more limited in their ability to take advantage of locally and seasonally available prey resources.
