Tidepool Life and Ecology

Color photographs by widely published nature photographer Nancy Sefton form the basis for narrated slide shows examining tidepool relationships, adaptations, plants, and animals. The hundreds of outstanding photographs may also be viewed individually and provide a great educational resource for teachers and students.

Tidepool Life – Adaptations and Relationships: Examine the special behaviors and structures of rocky shore animals that help them overcome the dangers, and exploit the opportunities, afforded by rocky beaches and crashing waves.
Discovering Tide Pool Animals: From tiny barnacles to giant sunflower sea stars, explore the animals that thrive where the waves crash onto the rocks, sweep away sediments and carve many nooks and crannies that serve as living space.
Sea Forest – Seaweeds and Grasses of the Rocky Shore: Survey the variety of plants that survive where the surf crashes on exposed shorelines and learn how they form the basis for tide pool life.
