Many of us have enjoyed a stroll along a beautiful beach at some stage and we all have stories about the interesting things that we’ve found. In fact, the seashore is a great place to start learning about life in our oceans!
A short walk along the wrack line can provide us with clues as to what’s living in the sea close by.
Natural things commonly found washed up on the beach include:
- Seashells
- Cuttlefish bones
- Dead coral
- Jellyfish
- Starfish and sea stars
- Eggs and eggcases
- Seaweed
- Fish
- Seabirds
- Sea turtles and
- Marine mammals (whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals)
