Observing Marine Life Abundance
We chose a representative section of Mearns Rock to show you at high resolution. Each of the photos in this series is a closeup of the region approximated by the quadrat shown here in red.
Something to Consider
As you look through these photos, consider the intense competition for space that exists among marine life forms in the intertidal region. For example, if sea otters clear mussels off a section of the rock, that opens space for barnacles, Fucus, or other organisms to "move in" to that space. You'll see several examples in these photos.
