What do orcas and sea urchins have in common? They both poop! Animals living in the ocean can be difficult to study, but, using the power of poop, scientists can answer tons of questions about how marine creatures behave, move, grow, and more. Come learn about how different poops, from mammals and invertebrates, are collected and used for marine science!
