The
study involves:
- pre-visit
exercises and background study of rocky shore ecology.
- a guided
field survey, using transects and quadrats, to describe the distribution
of organisms along a high tide - low tide continuum.
- a visit
to the Marine Discovery Centre for a closer look at some of the
sub-tidal rocky shore inhabitants.
- post-visit
manipulation and representation of results, including proposals
of hypotheses to account for observed distribution patterns if
desired
