Description:

[Kelp Forests][Rocky Shores] This is a guide to common marine invertebrates, seaweeds and fishes likely to be encountered on rocky shores and kelp forests of Monterey Bay and central California. The site was created as a teaching tool for undergraduate students at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, CA. Notes on abundance and microhabitat pertain to southern  Monterey Bay and may not apply directly to other locations.  Cryptic and/or small-bodied species are under-represented here, since they are seldom encountered in the field without special efforts.      If you would like to learn more about the biology of these organisms, see Ecology and Conservation of Kelp Forest Communities: BIOHOPK 185H/285H, an intensive summer course at Hopkins Marine Station, open to both Stanford and non-Stanford students.      This site was created by James Watanabe, who has taught and conducted ecological research on kelp forests and rocky shores of Monterey Bay for more than 35 years.  Chris Patton provided invaluable technical support photographic assistance.Notice to UsersThe images and text on these pages are copyrighted.  They are meant for educational use only.  Publication or other commercial use of this material is prohibited without written permission from the author.  Educational use of any image is contingent on it not being altered in any way.
