I used to work in aquaculture and would often work low tides.
Just so happens the best aquaculture beaches are intertidal shelves. I would often be walking the beach hauling crates of shellfish to a barge that would be perched over 20+ foot deep water.
During the salmon runs the Orca would come right up to the water’s edge.
I will never forget seeing the sheen of at least two Orca a few feet away from me pacing the edge. Could just feel them watching me. They stayed away from the motorized pump on the barge but once I’d go out a hundred or so feet to where the diggers left crates I’d sense them in the dark.
