As an aid to identification of intertidal organisms we developed a key linked to different substrates, organized around different phylum, class, and species found along the west coast.
The key is laminated and has been a useful starting point for students attempting to key out intertidal organisms. This quick reference aids students narrow their search in a number of marine reference texts. Bob Sharp developed the key and it has been added to by Alain Dalaire and Kevin O'Connor |
