Intertidal species field guide

One of the educational resources on our website is a Field Guide to the Intertidal Zone.  This field guide contains information about the animals commonly found on the rocky shores in our area.  This is a great resource for teachers who want to take their students to a rocky shore or who would like to conduct research projects in class.  The phyla covered in the field guide are Porifera, Cnidaria, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata.  

The Field Guide can be found at www.huntsmanmarine.ca/html/field_guide.html.

All of the pictures below show what animals can be found under a rock in the intertidal zone.
