Fighting Corals
Corals exemplify a common characteristic among animals -- they fight when confronted by "foreign" tissue. Corals are composed of individual yet connected zooids basically constructed much like anemones. Corals of different species will grow very close to one another in competition for space. As they come into contact. the bordering zooids of each species will attack one another. One of the two colonies may overcome the other or it may result in a standoff where neither encroaches any further. Their relative aggressiveness was determined by experiment in the laboratory but has not proved to be predictable in the field.

Guided Beach Walks (October - April)

mid October through April, our naturalist, Bud Doyle, conducts guided
beach nature walks at Casperson Beach Park and North Jetty Beach
Park. All beach nature walks begin at 9 am and conclude at 11 am. They
are open to the general public and free of charge. Learn about the Gulf
of Mexico, its tides, currents, and storms. Along the way, identify
shells, sharks teeth,birds, fish, and plant life. Casperson Beach is
Venice's rural beach while North Jetty Beach is one of Florida's great
shelling beaches.
Upcoming Marine Life Explorations

biologists. Using hand and seine nets, we will be searching shallow
waters and sea grass beds, observing, collecting, and discussing the
natural history of some of the many interesting fishes and other animals
