The habitat was rocky with lots of seaweed and close to the ocean. We see water, rocks, and seaweed. We hear water and wind. I smell salt water and seaweed. I am surprised we found the dead mans fingers. The only problem we ran into was that it was cold and slippery.

Our quadrant was in a rocky and sandy environment 2. I can see Bladderwrack, mussels, barnacles and periwinkles. 3. I hear seagulls, ravens, people, boats, wind, water and waves. 4. I smell the ocean. 5. I was surprised that there were no crabs in our quadrant. 6. We had a problem with our quadrant placement because there was a massive rock that we could not look under.

We had found the orange tunicate in a subtidal zone which was the primary place we would find it. sites/default/files/044/screen_shot_2011-10-08_at_7.44.27_am_0.png The species that we found had the same physical characteristics that was listed on the paper. Also the zooids form gelatinous covering, and the orange tunicate was in dense clusters. sites/default/files/044/screen_shot_2011-10-08_at_7.44.27_am_1.png It was attached to algae, and slow moving organisms. Also when we found the orange tunicate, we could see the tunic, which is the flexible body covering. Habitat description: watery, rocky, sea-weedy. We could see and hear the waves and we could smell the salt i the water. We also could smell fish. I am surprised that we found a lot of orange tunicate under rocks in various places.

There were many gray, orange, and red rocks that had a ton of barnacle and seaweed. It also had tons of shells and algae. We saw a lot of rocks, seaweed, and crabs. We smelled sea air, salt, and fish. We heard the wind in our ears, the waves gently lapping at the rocks, and the shouts of students when they found something. We were surprise to see tons of Asian Shore and Green crabs. What surprise us the most was when we found a colony under a rock. One problem we ran into was that we could find our bucket which lead us to not being able to find the camera.

The zooids were also arranged in loose circles. The zooids were covered in a slimy gelatinous protective layer common to most tunicates. The zooids were about .10 inches wide. sites/default/files/028/img_1656.jpg The Tunicate was attached to a submerged rock about a 1.5 feet underwater. The tunicate was found in both the sub-tidal and intertidal zones. sites/default/files/028/screen_shot_2011-10-17_at_8.51.40_am.png The Tunicates we found are purple, red, and bright orange. The zooids were more vibrantly colored than the rest of the tunicate. The habitat in which we placed our quadrat was rocky with seaweed, water, shells and sand. It was near the ocean, parking lot, boats and docks. We saw water, people, docks, beach, boats, houses, cars and docks. We heard birds, water, people and cars. We smelled the ocean and cars. We were surprised because we found a lot of native bladder wrack/rock weed in our quadrat and around. The rocky location made it hard to walk and the seaweed is slippery.
