Marine Science 101 Field Trip Huntington Beach State Park MSCI 101students are all ready for their day at the beach. They will be investigating the both the coastal and marsh habitat, observing wildlife and studying the physical processes that shape these environments. Strolling along the beach, observing. Tools of the Trade: notebooks, field guides, beach towels...and grapefruit! Grapefruits are buoyant, and were used to measure the longshore current. Using a sieve to look for wildlife and shells in a tidal pool. Hey, I think this crab likes Oreos! Venturing into the salt marsh. The first action of all good scientists: OBSERVATION! Take a look at these nifty oyster shells...
