    MoonJelly.jpg
  • This species is also known as a "lagoon jelly" because it lives in bays, harbors and lagoons in the South Pacific. Spotted jellies have rounded bells and strange clumps of oral arms? .with clublike appendages that hang down below. Instead of a single mouth, they have many small mouth openings on their oral-arms, which capture small animal plankton. In addition, each jelly grows a crop of algae, which gives them a greenish-brown color. They harvest some of their food directly from the algae (MBA 2009)

  • Shoreline Crab (Pachygrapsus Crassipes), Hayward Shoreline Salt Marsh. Hayward Regional Shoreline consists of 1,713 acres of salt, fresh, and brackish water marshes, and seasonal wetlands. Levees were originally built in Hayward and San Lorenzo to create land for salt production. Hayward Marsh, completed in 1985, is a 145-acre fresh and brackish water marsh and is somewhat unusual in that it relies on secondary treated effluent as the freshwater source. The marsh is made up of five managed ponds and has 15 islands that are utilized by many species of nesting birds. (East Bay Regional Park District 2009)
