Tidepooling with Birch Aquarium naturalists
Tidepooling Adventures (November-April)
Visit a local tide pool to learn how these amazing habitats and
their inhabitants truly survive 'between a rock and a hard place.' Our
trained educators/naturalists will show you how to tread lightly during
your visit and help you discover the wonderful world of tide pools.
TIDEPOOLING FOR ALL
This is the optimal season for tidepooling as minus tides reveal wider
beaches and tide pools teeming with life. Tide pools will be explored
by aquarium naturalists, who will carefully guide participants into
fragile tide-pool communities and highlight the inhabitants.
