GRUNION RUN In Southern California | Educational Video
Grunion run in Southern California. Nona The Naturalist of Dana Wharf Whale Watching explains about the grunion run. These silvery fish have unique mating behaviors: when spawning season comes, typically March through September, masses of grunion will swim onto the sandy shores at night, as seen in this video.

Dana Wharf is the premier year-round whale watching company in Dana Point. Beginning in 1971 we are the pioneer of whale watching adventures in Orange County, California.
We interact with over 1000 whales during the Gray whale migration in the winter and view hundreds of 90 feet Blue whales in the summer. Sightings of Orca, Humpback, Sperm and Finback Whales are not uncommon.
In addition to whales, thousands of dolphins, sea lions, seafaring birds, and even sharks are found year-round in our waters, so we always have plenty of wildlife to see.

I had never heard of it until that episode. Learned something new.
I feel stupid now because one time me and my friends saw all these fish stuck on the beach and we were picking them up and throwing them back in the water 😭🤦🏻♂️
I’m watching Beverly Hills 90210 s2 e2 and they mention the grunion run and I had no idea what in the world it was so now I’m here 😂 crazy nature!
I remember doing this grunion run back in 1999 with couple of my friends. We didn’t know what it was but we saw little fishes on the shore. We all grab bags from our cars and caught them and brought them home in the early AM’s. Our parents were so suprised. I was about 17 and now 43 😂😂😂😂
Was watching a episode of Walker Texas Ranger & here I am looking at gruntin🤔

Me too that’s what brought me here
I grew up in So Cal near the beach and we would watch the grunion run all summer. So much fun and such a cool thing to witness!!
Sherman's Lagoon brought me here 😄
This must be like Thanksgiving dinner for the seagulls.
Hey Nona! Thank you for telling us about the grunions.
Went to the beach many (random) nights when I was young .. sat there a long time, but never saw any ... I didn't realize though that they only came on the new/full moon. Darn.
Grunion run...love it...nature is full of wonders

Where I'm from on the east coast of canada we call them capelin. They run for about 2 or 3 weeks in the summer.
Grunion was fun in San Diego
Three's Company brought me here. 😂
threes company reruns brought me here
C’est incroyable !!
Look at all that live bait!!
just saw them all yesterday before i left san diego!
Found this after reading “The Tide: The Science and Stories Behind the Greatest Force on Earth” by Hugh Aldersey-Williams. Just had to see what a grunion run is like!
Three’s Company brought me here. I wonder if many people collect the fish to eat.
I like her enthusiasm.
I’ll be going to my first grunion run tomorrow 😃😁

Harry brought me, too.

Wondered what Maddie and Bosch were talking about. Cool to learn new stuff. #BoschS5E3
So when is the best time and place to see this?
Harry Bosch. Sure thing.
I wonder if Damon Runyon ever ran to see the grunion run
She knows exactly what day and time to lay the caviar so that her offspring survive. The fish writhing to the water and, waiting for the next wave, return to the ocean. What do you think? How did Atherina-Grunion learn to choose the most suitable moment for spawning - as a result of evolution or thanks to a wise Creator?

Why not both? I don't know for certain, not an expert, but...I can see beauty in the natural and elegance in the complex systems of life. I see rich complexity of the panoply of Earth's creatures; ruthless natural efficiency, never wasting; elegant systems that humans can (try to) approximate at every scale in the universe: all of these give glory to a God that is beyond my reckon and fathom. If THIS is SOMETHING and not a vain imagining, I would chalk it up to the creation of a master craftsman.

@@robertstevensii4018 Of course, many people, watching nature, come to this conclusion. The first words of the Bible reveal two important truths to us: 1) "heaven and earth," or the material universe, had a beginning; 2) they were created by God "To you, Jehovah, our strong God, by right belongs glory and honor, because you created all things, by your will all things began to exist and were created" (Revelation 4:11). The Hebrew verb translated by the word "created" is used exclusively in relation to the creative activity of God. In the Bible, only Jehovah God is called the Creator.
She is wayyyy to happy about this

It is Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, CA, just down the way from Long Beach. There is also a free aquarium on the beach - I highly recommend it!

Do they all die in the process?

Of course not. They go back in the ocean with the next wave.
They're gonna start growing little legs.
