Tiny Shells with a Big Story to Tell. Why are benthic foraminifera useful bioindicators?

Students explore what benthic foraminifera are, one of the most abundant benthic shells in the ocean, and what they tell us about a coastal habitat’s health. They learn about basics of bioindicators, apply the FORAM Index and interpret coral reef habitat.
