Empty tubeworm casings on wood offer a measurable coastal data point

Empty tubeworm casings, embedded in a piece of wood and found at low tide, offer a measurable coastal data point, even when the species remains unidentified. This observation, submitted by a sharp-eyed beachcomber, underscores how citizen science can surface empirical clues about ocean health. While the specific tubeworm eludes classification here, the empty casings themselves are a validated indicator of intertidal activity.
