Join Alana Kieffer of Shifting Tides for a workshop that will immerse students in the rocky intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon Coast. We will discuss tides, ocean conditions, and safety and etiquette on the rocks. Dive into details on specific organisms and species interactions that make up the general ecology of our intertidal ecosystems. Spend time exploring the nooks and crannies of the rocky shores looking for critters of all sizes. We’ll be meeting near Cannon Beach, OR.

Oregon’s large tidal exchange provides a dynamic and unique look into a world beyond our own. Low tide offers a rare glimpse into the lives of creatures usually hidden beneath the waves. Explore the shores, stepping into the unique underwater universe of our rocky shores, and find green and pink anemones, vibrant sea stars, shore crabs, hermit crabs,iridescent sea slugs, prehistoric chitons, tide-pool fish, and so much more! Observing this vibrant ecosystem up close provides a fascinating look at the resilience and diversity of coastal marine life.
