Tide Pool Prowl: ages 13 and up

With Jean McAlice, participants will discover tidal pools teeming with life, from mussels, crabs, worms, snails and barnacles to periwinkles, lichen, seaweed, rock weed, and maybe even sea lettuce.  Come learn fascinating facts, like how barnacles, which are crustaceans, define the upper tide line, are dormant during the lower tides, feed when wet, shed their skin in late winter or early spring, and build limestone houses for themselves. 

Runs concurrent with Treasures in the Sand for ages under 13.
