• Tide Pooling Log: Birthday Nature Walk along the Beach

  

  On the morning of my birthday late this summer, I wanted to go to the beach– of course! The tide was somewhere between 1 and 2 feet, so I didn’t expect to do much tide pooling, if any of the rocks would evening be exposed at this location in SoCal. Despite this, I thought we…

  Day one implies day two, right? If you haven’t read the first tide pooling log about our finds in the intertidal in Hawaii this fall, check out this article before reading on.  The finds the night before had been so great that we just had to go back out on the rocks again. It was…

The rocks were mostly dominated by brittle stars, urchins, and seemed to serve as nurseries for reef fish. They appeared entirely homogenous, and I focused more on snorkeling.  But this most recent trip to Maui, I was determined to…

• Tide Pooling Log: Buggy’s Beach, Ketchikan, AK

  

  The Pacific Northwest is famed for its abundance of life in the intertidal and while visiting Alaska’s inside passage, I knew I had to find a place to go tide pooling. Thanks to a helpful Luan Roberts (@Luanimal, of Nature Lookings), I found a beach near Ketchikan, far outside the touristy area that I could…
