Today I joined some wonderful homeschool families at Indian Point to explore the intertidal zone. We found lots of animals including crabs (many with eggs), sea stars, urchins, sideswimmers, and sea slugs hiding under the rocks. The children did a great job of turning the rocks back when they were finished having a peek underneath. It was a great morning!
The intertidal zone we explored this morning
(at high tide it will all be covered by water).
Many of the animals were found hiding under rocks.
The transparent legs on the left side of the crab are just growing back.

We found a few rock gunnel fish.
Whoa, that's a big urchin!
