Winter island

Exploring Intertidal Ecosystems

the sandy beach

and what we found there

a rock

smoothed by tumbling in the tide

a slipper shell

holding on to a broken clam shell

a limpet

life can be quite small

the rocky shore

and what we found there

barnacles

and periwinkles just out of water

a tunicate

attached to rock in a tidepool

a crab's claw

slipper shells

and periwinkles and algae

a Quahog

clamshell

mussels

colonizing a crack in the rocks

small crabs

fun to catch, then return

but the point is

that in an ecosystem...

life is food

a crab is lunch for a seagull

rockweed is lunch for a periwinkle snail

who wants shrimp?
