CRI Biology: Marine   

Explore marine life on Puget Sound tidal pools and beaches. You will find out what divers see in the Edmonds Underwater Park, what is living out in the Sound, and what can I see at low tide. We’ll be focusing on the Kingston and Edmonds beaches with their abundance of mollusks, sea stars, geoducks, moon snails, jellies, sea anemones, sand dollars, and more. We’ll also talk about the marine mammals and birds of prey, including the orca, sea lion, harbor seal, octopus, river otter, eagle osprey, great blue heron, and more.

It is not logistically possible to have a field trip, so I’m bringing the beach to you. This class features pictures of what you would see if you were walking with me at low tide from Apple Tree Cove Point, Kingston, down to Saltair Beach next to the ferry landing. We’ll talk about the marine life we see along the way and learn about the dynamics of the environment.
