Mike has had a couple of hardy groups studying marine zonation at Kimmeridge this week. Bright skies but freezing conditions. Even parts of the waterfall were frozen! Lots of intersting marine organisms were found including the Shore Clingfish
Lepadogaster lepadogaster.
Also, Golden Star Tunicate
Botryllus schlosseri was also found under the many rocks exposed at low tide.

Snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis) The pinky purple tips are due to a symbiotic algae living within the tentacles. |
