It had been a week of flash floods and rain but Friday 12th June dawned cloudless and sunny and it remained that way all day. S3 and the Biology department staff arrived on the east coast just south of Robins Hood Bay for the annual survey of life on the seashore and how organisms are adapted to extremes of exposure.
The pictures show groups collecting data along a transect up the shore to see if there was a relationship between the distribution of periwinkles on Fucus seaweeds. Along the way a search was made for crabs, fish and anything else that moved quickly. This year a sea urchin was found, the first time in a long while, which indicates that perhaps the sea water and beach are getting cleaner.
A great day and the weather stayed fine!
