Marine Biology in the Field

 Fall 2000


Victoria Byfield, Alexandra Tzarougian, and Meg Odell

On October 13, the students in Marine Biology visited Northeastern University's Marine Science Center in Nahant, MA.  

The trip served as an introduction to the diversity of organisms living in the rocky intertidal. We also examined the distribution of three species of snails (Littorina littorea, L. obtusata, and Nucella lapillus) at two sites that differed in wave exposure.
