Yesterday was a very low tide at Lowell Point Beach in Seward. It was exposing the intertidal zone and so a few of my marine biology classmates and their family members, my Marine biology teacher, and I went there last night, to see what we could observe.
There were a ton of sea stars, one of which had no arms and was regenerating and one who was currently eating a mussel. There were several nudibranchs (really weird looking :) and their eggs. We saw a couple adorable and tiny sea anemones (they were very prettily colored). We saw a sea urchin, a gunnel fish, a chiton, a million and one isopods, a periwinkle snail, and several disgusting marine worms.
All in all it was really cool and a great experience!
This sounds so cool!! Do you have any pictures?
