what is ecology?
Simply put, ecology studies how organisms
interact with one another and their relationship
to the environment that they live in. Because
of Tybee Islands location, incoming tides bring
a variety of marine life right to our shores.
According to Dr. Joe, the best time to discover
the interesting animals hanging around in the
tide pools located at the North Tybee jetties is
during low tide. So, be prepared to get your
hands dirty and make your own "touch tank"
to explore the many living organisms. Marine
life that you may interact with include: hermit
crabs, blue crabs, stone crabs, little crabs that
