Hi Heather,I’m Kat and I’ve been trying to figure out what type of tube worm this is for over a month. It’s stumped me, and my college marine bio teacher, and his colleagues, and anyone else I’ve asked. http://imgur.com/a/sejPs#0
I found it in Avalon bay on Catalina island in mid november this year. I’ve lived on the island all my life and go tidepooling a lot but never before have I seen that. The first time I saw it there was only one fairly large one. Then when i came back a week or 2 later to see I saw them everywhere and was able to collect a lot of empty ones. Do you know what it is? Thanks!

Thanks for giving Nick a photo credit! This article and photo really make me want to go down to Cancun. I am hopeful that the “change” in 2012 will be in the form of changing actions toward sustainability by humans as we come to realize the interconnectivity of all life on the planet.

Dear Heather Spence, My name is Sarah and I am in the 8th grade. I sent you this message as an e-mail but I really wanted to see if I could get an answer and decided to make a post also. I was doing a project in science involving fish tanks and plants. The plants we used were Red Ludwigia and each tank received an equal amount of light. We noticed that the tank that had two plants was warmer than than the tank with one plant and the tank with no plants. The tank with one plant was the second warmest. These results came up every time we measured. We didn't know what was causing this so my science teacher encouraged me to find the answer. Being a marine biologist, I figured you might know. If you do not know, could you please give me the contact information of someone who would? I would appreciate receiving an answer as soon as possible, even if your answer is no. Thank you. Sincerely, Sarah K.

My name is Hannah and I am really wanting to be a marine biologist but am curious about many things…like what GPA do you need? What are some physical, emotional, and mental obstacles?…and a ton more questions if you could email me so I could ask you all the rest of the questions I have for you that would be great.

Hey Ms. Heather! I’ve got a few questions regarding phytoplanktons. If you have time please answer.

1)What is the most common type of Phytoplankton?
2)Easiest to obtain phytoplankton?
3)Easiest to grow for an experiment?
4)What is a common or cheap growth medium for phytoplanktons?
5)Are phytoplanktons in danger of being endangered?
6)Could you give some importance of phytoplanktons?

Thank you.
