The intertidal zone is an amazing and diverse ecosystem. Students are briefed on safety and care when exploring the area.
Students enjoy exploring the area and are encouraged to look carefully for sea cucumbers, brittle stars, false abalones, tube worms, organ pipe coral and a variety of shells. Students are fascinated by the marine life they find under rocks and in small pools.
Students need to bring closed in shoes that can get wet for this activity.
