Join us for an exciting and educational tour of the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge! Dive into the dynamic world of tides and zonation with our engaging lesson on the Puget Sound and the Greater Salish Sea. Students will explore the intricate patterns of tidal movements and how they shape the diverse ecosystems along the shoreline. This hands-on lesson will reveal the fascinating zonation patterns, where distinct biological communities thrive in different intertidal zones. Through interactive activities and field observations, students will gain a deeper understanding of the environmental factors driving these patterns and the importance of preserving these vital marine habitats.
