Description
Tidal pools are a diverse ecosystem that are home to a wide range of important species that support our environment and marine habitats. Tidal pools along the New England coastline have been greatly affected by human activity, through direct contact with humans, as well as the increasing effects of climate change. Adapting the protocols from UC Santa Cruz Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe) and the National Park Service Northeast Temperate Network’s (NETN), we set up multi-year plots to track abundances intertidal species throughout Rhode Island. Ultimately, by gaining a better understanding of how these systems change over time, we can predict how species might respond to future environmental shifts and develop conservation strategies to protect the most critical components of these ecosystems, ensuring healthy marine ecosystems.
