Sea nettles hunt by trailing tentacles and mouth-arms covered in stinging cells which paralyze and capture prey, moving them to the mouth where they can be digested. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

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.

The 2008 Severn River Report Card Release. The report card summarizes 2008 water quality results, which are based on data collected by the Severn Riverkeeper Program. This report card helps to clarify the Severn's health, and provides instructions on what individuals can do to improve its condition. The release of this report card was attended by local, state, and federal representatives, Severn River Keepers, and IAN staff.

Purple-striped jellies mysteriously appear near the shores of Monterey in certain seasons. Young cancer crabs are often found clinging to these jellies, even inside the gut. The crab helps the jelly by eating parasitic amphipods. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
