Tidepools connect us to unseen riches
August 18th, 2010A recent story by NBC San Diego on the best places to visit tidepools around the city is reminds us: a good tidepool is worth its weight in abalone. For those working tirelessly through the MLPA to create a lasting legacy of ocean conservation in California, they are a symbol of the riches that lie beneath the waves, unseen to most but loved by all.
A classroom tidepool visit can begin a lifelong love of the ocean for students who wouldn’t otherwise get the chance to experience the mystery of our coastal sea life. A close encounter with a cadre of crabs can reconnect even the most jaded among us with the wonders of the sea.
The article chose some great spots, including La Jolla, Swamis, and Point Dume, all of which are under consideration for protection under the MLPA. We here at CalOceans hope people will be inspired by their trips to the shore and join our crusade to safeguard our marine resources for future generations to see, smell, touch and taste. So get out there and find a tidepool—just be sure to consult this handy tide schedule before you go, and always use your best tidepool etiquette.
