Citizen observation of tidepool sculpin raises questions about range shifts

A tidepool in Mid-coast Maine has yielded a citizen observation that demands scientific attention: a sculpin with the distinctive red upside-down V on its pupil, more closely resembling the Pacific *Oligocottus maculosus* than any known Atlantic species. This raises empirical questions about range shifts that our integrated data ecosystem should help resolve.
