The first picture is of baby asian crabs. They are everywhere under the rocks in the cove. They are not supposed to be there though. They are an example of an invasive species in our own backyard!
The test will be approx. four pages front and back. You'll do fine. Just review.
All photosynthesis notes would be important. It wouldn't hurt to know about leaves but i don;t think you have to memorize the diagram.
Invasive species are sometimes releasewd by individuals and can travel by sea on ships. Sometimes the ballast water (which the ship picks up from the sea when the boat has no cargo to weigh the ship down)can contain species that are then released when they need to pick up cargo at another location. This way things like green crab larva can be released into a new environment. Plant invasive species can be introduced as beautful exotic plants that then get out of control!
dear mr. forde don't see what this picture is but it looks so weird and i think it looks so ugly but it must be a spider well i don't know so what ever. Well i want you to explain to me what tis picture is and why you put it up here.
there was alot of signs of life on the beach if it had been low tide we would have found more. the signs of life i found was the shells the sea weed the crabs found, the rocks, the little holes in the sand i dont think there might have been any holes but there are usually holes in sand. i forget the name of what makes them mr forde do u know????? louis salas
The "spiders" are actually baby asian shore crabs that we caught under some rocks at cove beach. They are one of the species we learned about that DO NOT belong in Stamford but re there making the food web unbalanced.

Hey Louis,
ReplyDeleteRead this article (especially the last paragraph) to find out more about the small holes in the sand!
Mr. Forde :-)
When we went, it was low tide. We found a lot of invasive species like Asian and Green crabs. That was all we found. They're taking over!!
