Life on the Edge: A Guide to Pacific Coastal Habitats (DVD)

We begin our shore explorations on a sandy beach, seemingly devoid of life. But a closer look reveals plenty of life, below the sand. We watch a clam burrow, a shrimp dig its tunnel, an olive shell crawl beneath the surface. Where does the sand come from? Why is a sand beach so unstable? Why would any marine creatures want to live there? Life on the Edge explores key Pacific coastal habitats from Alaska to California. Meet the residents of sandy beaches, eelgrass beds, rocky shores, estuaries and kelp forests. With discussions of coastal geology, tides, intertidal zonation, key elements of each habitat, and their residents, Life on the Edge is an informative and fascinating presentation which features a printable teacher's guide recommended for grades 6-12. Produced in conjunction with the Seattle Aquarium.
