• Store water during low tide, soft jelly like bodies
• Holdfasts to anchor themselves and slimy mucus
• Muscular foot, cup shaped shell
• Cement to rocks, close their valves so they do not dry out, conical shape
• Think about the organisms that live in the rocky shore and tidal pools—what kinds of adaptations do they have that enable them to survive the pounding waves while staying in place, tidal changes (periods of time covered with water or periods of time with no water), sunlight exposure, evaporation of water that may leave concentrated salts behind, blending in to avoid predators
• What are the physical changes that occur in the rocky shore (3 main ones—think tides, salt content, and wave action)?
• Be able to give basic descriptions of the rocky shore ecosystem areas—to do this, match up the following
(Match the area with its description)

    This laboratory is based on a series of famous experiments that were conducted in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington state, in the northwestern United States…The nine species in this laboratory’s simulated rocky intertidal area include three different algae (including one you may have eaten in a Japanese restaurant); three stationary (or “sessile”) filter-feeders; and three mobile consumers (Keystone Predator Student Workbook). In this simulation there are nine different species. The Nori Seaweed, Black Pine, Coral Weed, Mussels, Acorn Barnacles, Gooseneck Barnacles, Whelk, Chiton, and Starfish. The Nori seaweed, Black Pine, and Coral Weed are all algae, which means they live in damp environments and are plant like and have chlorophyll. Having chlorophyll they make their own food through photosynthesis, the fact they can make their own food makes them autotrophs or producers, and are the lowest on the trophic level. The Acorn barnacles, mussels, and gooseneck barnacles are the filter feeders of this environment they do not move. They are the herbivores of this environment and the primary consumers on the trophic level. The whelk, chiton, and starfish are the only mobile species in this environment. Also they are the only carnivores in the environment and are secondary consumers on the trophic level.…

    The Rocky Shore is an ecosystem of great magnitude although it is filled with a number of smaller ecosystems with in that rocky shore. These smaller ecosystems are the tide and rock pools with in the rocky shore and are home to a large variety of different organisms. All these organisms are not there aimlessly, each and every organism affect one another wether it be plankton, seas squirts, red waratahs, wobbegong sharks, blue octopus etc. Even filtering creatures and plankton are a major part of the ecosystem and the food chain at the rocky shore. This is because if any creature gets abolished no matter what it may be then this creature’s predator’s food becomes scarce and this will result in this particular organism getting wiped out and so on and so forth. With in a food chain almost everything has a predator, unless this…

    One of the tools would use aboard the HMS Challenger would be A dredge took samples along the surface of the seafloor while being dragged across the bottom. The Challenger dredges were between 3 and 5 feet in width and were just metal nets shaped into bags. A piece of tightly woven cloth in the bottom of the bag trapped small animals and samples of mud. The swabs, or "tangles," attached to the bottom of the dredge were standard Navy-issue mops that were very good at sweeping up smaller organisms.…

    The ship set sail from Portsmouth, England early yesterday morning and we have been sailing for nearly a whole 24 hours; I’m supposing we’re about 40 degrees north of the equator. It’s a great day for sailing, the water is crystal blue, my hair is gently blowing though the wind, and there’s not a cloud in sight. Today my job was to use the scientific tool, the dredge. A dredge takes samples along the surface of the seafloor while being dragged across the bottom. There was not much luck today finding large organisms other than a few fish, but we brought up some dirt with bugs living inside it. The insects were tiny and seemed to have been feeding on the mud. They looked to be worms with legs.…

    Coastal areas can be protected from the effects of natural processes, for example the effects of erosion, deposition, transportation, weathering and mass movement. The most problematic of these is erosion. There are three types of erosion: hydraulic action, abrasion and attrition which all contribute together to erode cliffs, causing the coastline to be vulnerable and weaker. The cause of erosion can then lead to mass movement for example rock fall and slumping which can affect the coastline greatly due to them changing it quite considerably.…

    Marine Ecosystems

    On the 23rd of August, the three biology classes or grade 11 at Redlands College visited the rocky shore ecosystems at Point Cartwright in Queensland. Two different types of rocky shore ecosystem were examined, the rock pool area, and the boulder area. We first examined areas within the rock pool area. The rock pool area has several specific features which set it apart from other rocky shore ecosystems, including its geological makeup and position. It is made up of a flat platform of rock pockmarked with numerous rock pools; indents in the rocks which are filled with water and contain numerous forms of marine life. These pools can vary in size, from small cracks in the rock which have a changing water level or huge crevices which almost always have a level of water in them. Each rock pool has different species of marine life, in varying numbers. The platform lies at the base of a cliff, and is usually sheltered from the constant barrage of waves, except occasionally at high tide when the occasional wave will replenish the water in each rock pool. However, the platform can become quite windy, as there is no shelter from an onshore wind. The classes from Redlands College were constantly buffeted by the onshore wind while they were there, giving them an idea of the sought of conditions the pools are subject to every day. These abiotic factors define the type of organisms present in the rock pool area as the organisms need to withstand the effects of the abiotic factors and still be able to carry out the processes required for them to survive. The effect of each abiotic factor and resulting population in each area will be examined in more detail later in the report.…
