A Tide Pool
Pacific Rim
The sea has pulled back, leaving water between the rocks. A sea star, mussels and an anemone share this small pool. Let’s watch without moving them.
Did you know?
Here, the sea rises and falls twice a day: that is the tide.
Look together
Which living things can you spot?
An idea to try
Count the sea star’s arms. Imagine the same pool when the water rises.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
Pacific Rim’s shoreline includes habitats between high and low tide. The species are grouped here for observation. On a real visit, follow park guidance, watch the tide and leave animals where they are.
