At Flat
Rock Beach, students can study a pristine environment with a huge variety
of marine littoral organisms. Students are instructed as to how to look
for the organisms without hurting them nor destroying their habitat so
that the area remains as good for the next group of students.
Students can find and identify
a large array of gastropod molluscs as well as oysters, octopi, barnacles,
starfish, brittlestars, featherduster worms, tube worms, sponges, sea urchins
cunjevoi, crabs, fish and nudibranchs to name but a few. |
