6. Oregon Rocky Intertidal Zone Oregon State Parks Guide

7. Oregon Rocky Intertidal

8. Spray Zone: periwinkle snails boundary between spray & intertidal rock louse & sea roaches scavenge organic debris

9. High Tide Zone: filter-feed seawater / larvae are planktonic limpets, buckshot or acorn barnacles

10. Oregon Limpet

11. Chiton Tonicella mollusc related to sea snails, clams, limpets

12. Middle Tide Zone: more variety, competition for space goose barnacles, mussel, sea stars

13. Oregon Barnacles on Mussel

14. Fun Fact for the Day: Barnacle symbiosis male & female attached to each other through most of life until male reduced to size of microscopic penis

15. Oregon Sea Star Zonation

17. Henricia Sea Star

18. Low Tide Zone (Tide Pools): dominated more by plants than by animals algaes, sea urchins, sea anemones

20. Exploring the Tide Pools (and associated geology)  Shoes with good tread/grip  Extra socks  Rubber boots, if you have them  Take your field trip guide with you!  Print out this PPT too if you like! (change “output” to black & white for best results)

Rocky Shores cont.  middle tide zone –equally exposed & covered during all high & low tides –more variety, competition for space –goose barnacle, mussel, sea star –sea anemone, hermit crabs, sea urchins (tidal pools)  low tide zone –mostly wet –surf grass, algae, seaweeds –sea urchins, sea anemones

34. Sandy Shores  no fixed surface to attach to  different adaptations protect animals from fluctuations in –temperature –salinity –water levels (so as not to dry out)  clams, worms, sand stars, amphipods

35. Clams

36. Worms, Amphipods, Sand Stars

37. Feeders on Sandy Shores  Clams –suspension feeding  Worms –deposit feeding by ingestion  Amphipods –deposit feeding on surface  Sand stars –carnivorous feeding on unlucky neighbors
