I was fortunate to accompany an outdoor education group in an instructional session with graduate student Heather Price, who is studying bryozoans, but has a wealth of knowledge of other marine invertebrates as well. I spent some time on my own afterwards and admit openly that I was mesmerized by barnacles.
