Onamac Beach - May 27, 2010

With the completion of monitoring for 2010, Camano Beach Watchers took the time to begin evaluation of data collection. You can find a set of comparisons in CHARTS that are linked at the bottom of the main Intertidal Zone webpage. Take a look at what collected data says about our species gains/losses on our shorelines. Then enjoy the pictures below from this year's monitoring.

Onamac Beach
This beach has 2 monitoring lines done in parallel by the Beach Watchers on Camano. Generally the northmost line has more intertidal critters found. This year there was more green seaweed cover than on previous years.

Interesting
