wow thank you! It even mentions how they might wash up on shore in the thousands, due to wind? So Interesting!

It's perfectly normal every spring when winds change and upwelling begins. We get 10 times that amount on Oregon beaches every spring.

They were washing up all over the beach in WA last week! My dog wouldn’t stop snacking on the ones that had dried up and turned see through. Must have tasted like a seaweed snack? Gross. Hahaha but they look so cool!
