Asian shore crab

I was happy because we were able to find many species, and also some invasive. This is not good, but now we can notify you that the invasive species are there. When I was there I heard the waves crashing, I smelt the salt from the ocean and the seaweed. I saw mostly seaweed on top, but once I got into my quadrant there were plenty of other organisms to find. I am surprised that I found so many crabs, I was not expecting this. I was also surprised that we did not find a lot of native periwinkles, I mostly saw common periwinkles. I was also surprised that we didn't find much dead man's fingers, this was something I was happy about. When going through the tide pools it was hard to walk on the seaweed, it was very slippery. Also, I came close to falling, luckily I caught my self each time.
