Gallery | Algae & Plants
In the intertidal zone at Bird Rock, algae provide food to herbivores, physical shelter to many animals, and oxygen to all. Avid snorklers, divers and tide pool visitors will notice that it can be difficult to find a rock (or shell, for that matter) that is submerged in the ocean for some or all of the day that isn’t covered with algae. And we should be thankful for it because we need plants and algae to survive on this planet for the oxygen they produce and the food webs they support. So take a moment to browse the algae and silently express your gratitude to the photosynthesizers.
