Students will consider the many various ways that animals obtain their food in the marine environment, and will look at simple intertidal food webs. Students will be able to study different animals, with hands-on opportunities to compare them using live and preserved specimens as available. The program will include a demonstration of predator-prey interactions, time permitting.
