* on Haida Gwaii, in November & December of 1985, and again in February
of 1989, we experienced the opposite kind of event, when the Subarctic
Convergence slipped out into the Pacific during spring tides and killed
millions of intertidal creatures with the cold. The first time there
were a lot of Chitons, and other slow-growing species (we ate a lot of
Octopus), but the second time the semi-sessile forms seem not to have
recovered, and most of the dead were Arthropods (including very
delicious Cancer productus Crabs).
