Science Sunday—Tales from the Intertidal: Living Where Ocean Meets Land

Every organism inhabiting the intertidal, the interface of land and sea, has a story to tell. Living in an ever-changing and narrow landscape, these organisms are faced with unique challenges threatening their ultimate survival. We can only explore this diverse habitat when the ocean has receded at low tide and the organisms are exposed to air. With not much time before the high tide returns, what stories could they tell us if we would stop and listen?

Join Allison Gong as she reveals the fascinating secrets of intertidal creatures.
