At the end of the afternoon the students boarded the bus to head to the other side of St. Andrews to explore a rocky intertidal zone. Searching under the rocks and seaweed the students found green crabs, sea stars, and sideswimmers.
After supper the students studied seaweeds in the lab in preparation for the zonation lab today.
Below are some pictures from the day.
