Description: The peacock worm (Sabella pavonina) lives in rubbery tubes covered with sand particles that protrude freely from the substrate.

Description: The term "worms" refers to animals of very different groups.

Description: Cnidarians can appear in two forms, as a sessile polyp and as a free-swimming medusa.

Description: Logodesign "Water lilies"

Description: Water lilies, or sea anemones (order Actiniaria), appear like plants with their colorful tentacles, but they are simple, sessile animals.

Description: The branched tubular calcareous sponge (Leucosolenia complicata) grows with its fragile tubes on moss animal colonies and hydroids (cnidarians), but also on algae and pieces of shell.

Description: Examining the underside of rocks and boulders on a sheltered shoreline or underwashed seaweed often reveals a variety of sessile and encrusting animals.

Description: gelatinous sea creatures

Description: Plankton, Greek for "drifting", is a collective name for the mostly tiny plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) that are carried more by water movements than by their own movements.

Description: Rudder kelp, Laminaria digitata, Laminariaceae, brown algae; distribution: North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts, localities: on rocks in all water depths up to 30 m, stem oval in cross-section; usually without epiphyte vegetation

Description: Algae and seaweed are lower organisms, but well adapted to their environment: they are well fixed to their substrate, are very pliable to endure the constant wave action, and can survive dry periods well at low tide.

Description: Wet sand tends to yield to footfalls, while dry sand takes on a whitish color from the pressure of the foot and becomes hard immediately.

Description: The outward appearance of a sandy beach, slowly exposed by receding waters at low tide, is in stark contrast to that of the rocky coast.

Description: Such euryhaline forms penetrate brackish water from the sea as from freshwater, marine organisms much more readily enduring salinization than freshwater organisms.

Description: The Baltic Sea is a small, shallow secondary sea (mean depth 55 m!) of the Atlantic Ocean, with an area of 0.42 million km2.

Description: The common limpet (Patella vulgata) is also excellently adapted to life on rocky shores.

Description: Where the action of waves on the coastline is predominantly erosive, i.e., ablative, in nature, rocky coasts form.

Description: The difference in water level between low and high tide - called the tidal range - can vary considerably.

Description: Image of the American weather satellite Noaa flying in a circular orbit at an altitude of 870 km over the poles.

Description: During the last ice age, so much water was trapped on the continents as glacial ice that sea level was lowered as much as 100 m.

Description: The sea has always held a great fascination for people.

Description: In Central Europe today, there are only two areas that can still be called natural landscapes, at least in part: the Alps and the Wadden Sea.

Description: Walking across a meadow, looking under loose tree bark in the forest, under old boards or stones in the garden, or picking up mud from a pond: you will always observe invertebrates hurriedly seeking the distance or playing dead.

Description: The invertebrates

Description: The temperate climatic zone of the European continent is characterized by the fact that between the frost-free and not too hot summers and the moderately cold winters the relatively long transition periods extend the growing season.
