The tidepools on the Sonoma Coast are teeming with life. From the nearly invisible aggregating anemones to the lively hermit crabs living in appropriated turban snail shells, everywhere you step there are fragile intertidal creatures underfoot. If you are bringing a group to the tide pools, please review the resources below. They help you to teach students to explore the delicate tide pools without destruction. A teacher’s guide and resource materials are available.
Please view the following tidepool orientation video with your students for important safety and stewardship information, and share it with your chaperones: Tidepool Heroes!
Here is another tidepool-specific resource to help you prepare: Tidepool Teacher’s Guide (1 MB PDF file)
