There are thousands, possibly millions of animals on the shore, largely invisible to the naked eye.

As most look weird, with behaviour beyond imagining, the best answer is to see for yourself, and for that you need a microscope. Here one of our members, Mavis Symons, uses one of the microscopes with which Coastwise has equipped local Field Centres.
