 \nhttp://www.mlml.calstate.edu/\n\nThe kelp forests of the Central Coast of 
 California and along the Monterey Peninsula in particular are significant 
 factors contributing to the overall richness and diversity of marine life 
 in the associated waters. As a primary producer Giant Kelp is part of the 
 foundation of many food systems. As a climax species it defines a habitat 
 which supports essential life functions for vertebrates and invertebrates 
 alike.\n\nOur speaker this month, Selena McMillan, will speak about the 
 relationship between the primary producer, Giant Kelp, and one of its 
 consumers, the Brown Turban Snail. While much has been said about abalone 
 and urchin grazing on Giant Kelp, Selena's research focuses on the most 
 abundant kelp forest herbivore in Central California. Her project is unique 
 in that it represents first study of grazing on the entire Giant Kelp 
 sporophyte that has been done in Central California.\n\nSelena is a Masters 
 Degree Candidate at Moss Landing Marine Labs. Her advisor, Dr. Michael 
 Graham, spoke to the Monterey Chapter last year. As a marine ecologist 
 Selena has a particular interest in the trophic relationship between 
 primary producers and their consumers and the effects this relationship has 
 on the overall dynamics of the kelp forest community.\n\nPlease join us and 
 learn more about the Giant Kelp Forest and what goes on in that very 
 important coastal habitat.\n\nRelated web pages:\n\n    * Selena
