Marine organisms and body plans →

Compare eight groups of marine invertebrates using anatomy, movement, photographs and taxonomic references.

Coastal field methods →

Plan a tide window, describe a site, keep survey effort consistent and download a practical observation worksheet.

Underwater images and evidence →

Read a photograph as evidence: illumination, scale, movement, visible anatomy and the limits of video-based identification.
