LIFE ON THE
ROCKS IS GREAT

Life on the rocks. It sounds
rough. But if you’re a sea inver-
tebrate, it may be the best life
around—almost as good as life in
the mud--tidal pool mud, that is.

Rocks, mud, sea grasses--these
are all ideal homes for many of
the ocean’s organisms which we
may see, but don’t know much
about.

For instance, ever heard of sea
anemone wars? Ever seen a sea
worm lasso its prey? Ever seen
an eight-foot wide, diamond-
shaped fish lazily swim by and
wonder what it was?

Sea creatures, large and small,
are a particular love of Vancouver
zoologist and scuba diver Rober-
ta Olenick who will be teaching a
class exploring these and other
creatures of the sea. Called
Saltwater Strangers: B.C. Marine
life, the non-credit course starts
September 22 at Douglas
College’s New Westminster cam-
pus, and includes three lectures
and a field trip to --you guesses it-
- the rocks and mud of the tidal
zone.

Using her fun and innovative
"Strip-T’s Shirt Approach" to
learning marine life, Olenick
promises to peel off a T-shirt for
many of the creatures she talks
about.

"I come to class wearing a lot of
T-shirts and looking rather chub-
by, but once we get down to busi-
ness, I begin to ‘thin out.™

Hach T-shirt is collected
through hard hunting, continent-
wide ("T-shirts with sea worms
on them aren’t that popular—you
try to find one.") and each bears a
picture of some form of sea life.
