California Ecosystems - Oystercatchers in the Tidepools (original) farm monitoringThis work focuses on the ecological relationships in the tide pools along the coast of Central California. In some places, the rock surfaces around tide pools look black from a distance. Look closer and you will see that the black is actually the deep indigo of California Mussel colonies or a dense coat of marine algae that are actually green, purple, red, gold, or brown. Every pool teems with life including small molluscs we know as Purple Olivella
