Green crabs are invasive to Cape Cod! They can disrupt local ecosystems.

Sea urchins use a unique mouthpart called “Aristotle’s Lantern,” made up of five tooth-like plates for scraping food off surfaces.

Sea stars can regrow their limbs, making them one of the ocean’s most resilient animals.

Eelgrass grows in shallow waters (usually under 20 feet deep) and thrives in soft, sandy environments.

Scallops have between 40 and 200 tiny eyes that detect light, movement, and shapes.

Clams are bivalve mollusks, meaning they have two shells connected by a hinge. They use their tongue-like foot to move across or bury themselves in sand.

Octopuses are highly intelligent and curious — and believe it or not, they are mollusks! Over millions of years, the octopus evolved to lose its hard shell. They are extremely flexible and can squeeze into tiny crevices to hide from predators.
