So we are basically looking for examples of the diversity
of algae and invertebrates in the intertidal zone here.
This is an Asian shore crab, and it's really invasive.
Touch it — it's squishy.
Ohh!
This is a really good time for you to share what you've already identified
and if there are any markers that helped you identify it, share with the group.
You can pull it out, pass it around.
Ohhhhhh.....
Nice!
What species do you think that is?
We have the green sea urchin
and the scientific name for that...
is....
Stronglyocentrotus droebachiensis
Okay, let's try it.
Stronglyocentrotus droebachiensis
How do you spell that?
What phylum are we in now?
Everyone see the blob? The orange blob?
Not the movie, the animal?
Botrylloides
Botrylloides
violaceus
So the genus is?
