Experiment 2 - Species abundance survey of Crystal Crescent Provincial beach

Today was a perfect sweater day at Crystal Crescent! While the weather called for rain I made the most of the non busy beach day by packing up all my field equipment and tracing transect lines to collect pictures of all the wonderful plants around the beach!
I was amazed at all the edible seaweeds and plants that I found! They are so beautiful and so abundant compared to some other beaches I've been around! The rockweed, knotted wrack, and bladder wrack hugged every inch of the low tide zone rocks that they could! Barnacles and periwinkles hid beneath the seaweeds while the tide was out too!
