The USF Marine Biology Web Site group (Dima, Kevyn, Ben, and John) would like to thank and dedicate this web site to our instructor Dr. Paul K. Chien for giving us the knowledge with which to appreciate the incredible beauty and diversity of life that exists intertidally off the Pacific Coast. We would also like to thank our fellow Marine Biology classmates for making this a particularly memorable course in our academic careers. Finally, we would like to give a special acknowledgement and thanks to our fellow group member, Benjamin Thai, without whose expertise of homepage design this web site could not be possible.
