Class field trip with the Beach Heroes

Class field trip with the Beach Heroes

Elementary school kids are well prepared by their in class marine education session to enjoy, understand and be gentle with the tiny beach animals. 2 PREGNANT FEMALE SHORE CRABS are highlighted, the first in early pregnancy and the latter laden with eggs. All shelled crabs molt and breed in May/June. Tragically, but coincidentally, end of school field trips bring a deluge of kids to the beach at the most vulnerable time for crabs, eggs and the almost-microscopic babies of many marine species.

I’ve seen these guys munch on several acroporas and a meteor shower cyphastrea and now a softie. The acroporas had moderate damage but the cyphastrea has significant damage from this creature once thought to be reef safe

Life in a tide pool 1

Posted on April 17, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

This was taken in a tide pool out in Laguna Beach, California. It’s amazing how much life could be sustained in these little pools of water. Each pool contains it’s own little group of animals. You could find crabs, fish, kelp, coraline algae, different sea weeds, shrimps, sea urchins, sea anemones, hermit crabs, limpets, snails, sea stars, and many more things that I’m sure I missed all in a single pool. Once you’re done with one pool, run over the next pool and it’s an entirely different scene. I can’t ID everything that I saw in this pool simply because I don’t know everything that I saw in this pool.. haha! All of the bubbles you see towards the end of the video are from a wave that came crashing in.

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer: Galápagos Rift, New Hydrothermal Vent Discovered 7/23/2011

Posted on April 16, 2012 by admin| 11 Comments

Nine ROV dives into the Galapágos Rift 2011 Expedition, the science team finally discovered the type of hydrothermal vent community they had been searching for. Clusters of tube worms, limpets, mussels, and anemones were seen to inhabit cracks in the lava bed where mineral-rich, geothermally-heated water ‘vents’ out. Two species of tube worms were found in abundance: the giant Riftia pachyptila and also the much smaller, never before observed in the Galápagos, Tevnia jerichonana. Brachyuran crabs, vent shrimp, and scale worms clung not only to the surrounding rock but also to the tube worms themselves in some cases. Extensive fields of dead and living clams surrounded the individual pockets of venting. Video courtesy of NOAA Okeanos Explorer Program, Galapágos Rift Expedition 2011.
