This afternoon Seattle University biology professor Lindsay Whitlow brought 25 of his students to Richey Viewpoint which includes Constellation Park and a Marine Reserve area on Beach Drive SW near the end of 63rd Ave. SW. They were not in Chicago, but it was the windy city today.
This afternoon Seattle University biology professor Lindsay Whitlow brought 25 of his students in four white vans to Richey Viewpoint which includes Constellation Park and a Marine Reserve area on Beach Drive SW near the end of 63rd Ave. SW.
While they were studying in the real world, they got hit with a large dose of reality, and water, as winds there gusted in the 40 mph-plus range.
"They have come to collect invertebrates that live in the intertidal for their Intertidal ecology lab," said Whitlow of his semi-soaked students. "Today they got to experience what it's really like to be an organism that lives in this environment all the time. We collected barnacles, muscles, starfish, limpets, and snails."
Speaking of muscles, it took some to fight their way back to the relative safety of their parked vans before departing.
