About this place
Lota is a former coal-mining town on the Arauco Gulf, south of Concepción in Chile's Biobío Region. The author found marine and shoreline life here along the beach and in the shallow coastal waters, including the Patagonian blenny, the Chilean sea urchin, the Peruvian anchovy and the hairy shore crab. All four sightings came on a single day in November, in the early afternoon around 2 pm. That makes this a small, focused guide to what turned up on the shore in late spring, rather than a full seasonal record. This is a virtual guide written by someone who has been there, not a tour. You get the author's notes for each species and can message the author with questions about the coast and how they spent the day. Wildlife is wild and sightings are never guaranteed.Read more
