About This Activity

Delving into the intricate ecology of the beach, this course explores three distinct zones: the swash zone where waves break and sediment exchange occurs, the wrack line marked by debris from high tides and a transitional haven for various creatures, and the protective dunes that guard the shore against the relentless ocean. We’ll identify unique plants and animals in each zone, build microscopy skills, and even express your newfound knowledge through creative art projects using natural materials. You will gain a deeper understanding of these vital coastal ecosystems and discover the environmental challenges they face.
