We learned a lot the past couple of weeks about various types of Anemones all over Monterey bay.
Some cool facts about Aneomones that we did not know about are:
-They can live up to 100+ years
- Many of the Anemones are structured to protect them for their surroundings
- Anemones can be found in the depths of the ocean without sunlight
If we could do this project again, we would of found better ways to monitor some of these Anemones to prove some of the facts we discovered about them. Overall, we had a great experience learning about different Anemones and enjoyed researching them.
