Field Trip Logistics
• Cost – about $180 (transportation, all meals, accommodation)
• Research – 5 groups of 5
• Each group is responsible for designing a sampling program to answer a specific research question
• Each group will have 3 opportunities to collect data (3 low tides)
• Trip will be on the weekend (Friday – Sunday) of January 30, 31, February 1(or on Feb 14, 15, 16 as a backup date)
• The low tides are Friday – 1334, Saturday – 1431 and Sunday - 1522

The course will be divided into four sections:
1. Effects of physical factors on the intertidal
2. Effects of biological factors on intertidal zonation
3. Soft substrate intertidal habitats
4. Hard substrate intertidal habitats
