Your task is to produce something similar - to show the distribution of organisms on the stoney part of the shore at Monaco
Here is a bit of an example of what you might do using excel
Here is a bit of an example of what you might do using excel
Once you know WHERE the organisms are found you can then do some research (Life in the Estuary- book, &/or internet) and explain WHY they are found where they are. To explain the "why", find out things like: how they feed, how do they survive the tide going out, how they avoid being eaten - and relate that to where they are found (and where they are not found.... maybe compare to 2013)
Remember our words: tolerate, exploit, adaptations
You should do this for: half crabs, cushion stars, little black mussels, whelks and at least 2 more of your choosing
Your report should include the shore profile you produced and an explanation of where at least 6 of the creatures are found
