Program Summary
The variety of marine organisms found in the barren rocks of the New England seacoast is explored through a series of spectacular images presented via Power Point.
Participants engage in a detailed examination of the animals and marine algae that inhabit the different zones of the inter-tidal area between the low and high tide lines.
Hands-on encounters with a sampling of the inter-tidal organisms, such as sea stars, green crabs, and sea urchins lead to a discussion of the adaptations each organism has developed to ensure that it remains moist, feeds adequately, avoids predators and stays put amid tides and crashing waves.
