๐๏ธ๐ดLetโs find sea creatures with the queer naturalists in the group that you may not have seen before, unless youโve been to a rocky beach at low tide! ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐
This month we have more KING TIDES meaning super low tides that leave lots more beach area exposed than usual!

What is a tidepool? What makes a good tidepool? Tidepools are rocky areas that trap seawater in small pools, cracks and channels as the water rises and lowers based on the tides. As the sea level lowers, a pool of water is trapped for a period of time. When the seawater rises, the areas are flooded again and the cycle continues. These pools of water created by the tides are aptly named โtide poolsโ as they are pools of water created by the tide.
Tidepools may also be considered as any part of the intertidal zone where there are rocks and other substrate for plants and animals to attach too. The intertidal zone is the area between the upper limit of the tide and the lower limit of the tide.
๐ฅพWear shoes suitable for rocky, wet & sandy beach area . Hanging out on the sand is another option-bring something to sit on if this is your preference. As it gets later, you might want a hoodie or warm layer!๐ฉดโ๏ธ๐ฉดโ๏ธ๐ฉดโ๏ธ๐ฉดโ๏ธ๐ฉด
๐ง๏ธโ๏ธRAIN IS POSSIBLE, but we will still meet unless it is a downpour! Bring rain gear and be comfortable in these conditions (host will cancel if too wet so check event about an hour or two before arrival) ๐
โ ๏ธAs with all outdoor adventures involving water, members are responsible for their own safety on slippery rocks & near the oceanโ ๏ธ
