LiMPETS is a community science program that monitors the coastal ecosystems of California and helps youth develop a scientific understanding of the ocean. LiMPETS monitors the biology in rocky intertidal and sandy beach ecosystems and aims to provide publicly accessible, scientifically sound, long-term data to inform marine resource management and the scientific community.

Did you know that purple urchins have tube feet they use to move along surfaces and bring food to their mouths. They'll reach out in water for anything they can use as camouflage too, like rocks or shells. 

Remember to get outside and catch those last moments of summer before they're gone.
