My name is Mea Ann Bloyd and I am from Mendocinco Middle School.
I am doing a project on Tide Pools and what animals live in them. Well
actually, the real title of my project is How do Tide Pool Animals
Survive When the Tide Goes Out? I am particularly interested in Starfish
and Sea Anemones. How do they keep from drying out? I don't have all
the information that I think that I need to do this project correctly. I
do have several books I'm using but am having a hard time finding
information. Some books I'm using are: Ocean Life, Seashore Life, The
World Book Encyclopedia, Seashores, Seashore and Sea and shore. Any
additonal information on how these animals can survive when the tide
goes out will be appreciated. I know that some animals hide under rocks
or seaweed, but starfish and anemones can't. I know that their outer
layers help them from drying out but I don't know how. I don't know what
really happens to the ones who can't get hidden or if the sun is hotter
than usual that day. I also would like to know what different tide zones
starfish and anemones live in. Is there some reason why they like these
zones? I hope you can help me get this information for my project.
