Food Chains in a Tide Pool

The organisms in a tide pool face challenges that those in the deep ocean do not during both low and high tide. Still, the organisms depend on their small environment for survival. A useful way to organize and study the interdependence of plants and animals in a tide pool is a food chain. Similarly, a food web shows how food chains connect within this ecosystem. This comprehensible volume, a valuable addition to any STEM library, will introduce budding scientists to this fascinating habitat. Interesting photographs, diagrams, and fact boxes add interest to the accessible curricular concepts.
