This program explores four important marine invertebrate phyla: Cnidaria, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Echinodermata. Beginning with an introduction to phylogeny, students have the opportunity to meet live intertidal animals. During the program, the phyla come to life through a combination of artifacts, squid dissection and live coastal marine invertebrates. Students have the opportunity to touch our most hardy live animals and all of our artifacts.

To conclude, the group discusses challenges these animals and our oceans are facing and brain storm to find direct actions we can take to help affect change including the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup and Ocean Wise Sustainable Seafood.
