Here are some of the topics that will be covered in this chapter. More text and images will eventually be added to this section. Thank you for your patience.
Rocky intertidal events in June:
Two high-intertidal algae--Endocladia muricata (nailbrush algae) and Mastocarpus papillatus (tar-spot algae) mature and develop fruiting bodies.
Many tunicates, bryozoans, and sponges reach peak abundance and begin to spawn, as do the nudibranchs and isopods that feed on them.
Many species of intertidal worms spawn, often on the full moon.
Young predatory snails hatch from their eggs in May and June and begin feeding on young barnacles, snails, etc.
Females of many types of intertidal crabs and hermit crabs carry eggs.
