Sand dollars live below the average low water mark on top of or just beneath sandy or muddy surfaces. Spines on the somewhat flattened underside of the animal allow them to burrow or to slowly creep through the sand. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. — Sand dollars (Dendraster excentricus)

Sediments from the Patuxent River are sifted through onboard the R/V Aquarius to collect and identify benthic organisms — Sifting for benthic organisms

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) settle on other oyster shells, forming reef structures. These reefs attract other organisms as well, including mussels. — Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) — Oysters (Crassostrea virginica)

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, has been removed from its shell. The forceps point to the adductor muscle, which closes the shell. — Oyster

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) builds reefs as oyster larvae set onto other oyster shells, as seen in this small clump of at least four oysters. — The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

A sediment core has been collected and is being prepared for storage and analysis by carefully filling the core with water from the sample site to minimize disturbance. — Sediment core preparation

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) sets on other oyster shells, creating reef structures. These reef structures attract other organisms as well, including mussels. — Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica has been taken out of its shell. The forceps are pointing to the mantle. — Oyster out of its shell

This conceptual diagram illustrates the connection between the water column and the benthos. Specifically, it illustrates the connection between phytoplankton and benthic filter-feeders. — Benthic-pelagic coupling
