A tide pool or rock pool is a shallow pool of seawater that forms on the rocky intertidal shore. These pools typically range from a few inches to a few feet deep and a few feet across. [ 1 ] Many of these pools exist as separate bodies of water only at low tide , as seawater gets trapped when the tide recedes.
The Liquid Jungle Lab (LJL) is a tropical marine research station on the island of Canales de Tierra on the western coast of Pacific Panamá along a primary marine biological corridor. The LJL research campus was completed in 2004 and is part of a private 3,500 hectare reserve composed of primary forest, mangroves, tide pools, and a rocky inter ...
Depending on its formation, these systems can exist in one of two primary forms: pools or caves. The primary differentiating characteristics between pools and caves is the availability of light; cave systems are generally aphotic while pools are euphotic. The difference in light availability has a large influence on the biology of a given system.
Hermit crabs and live Tegula snails on a dead gumboot chiton, Cryptochiton stelleri, in a tide pool at low tide in central California. Although intertidal ecology has traditionally focused on these negative interactions (predation and competition), there is emerging evidence that positive interactions are also important. [17]

[ 8 ] The trail passes by the ruins of an indigo boiling house, that was part of a 17th-18th century sugar and indigo plantation (referred to as "Flat Point ...
Tide pools with sea stars and sea anemone. Intertidal zones, the areas that are close to the shore, are constantly being exposed and covered by the ocean's tides. A huge array of life can be found within this zone. Shore habitats span from the upper intertidal zones to the area where land vegetation takes prominence.
The Davenport Tide Pools are located just past the town of Davenport, California in the United States. They are located where Davenport Landing Road loops to the sea off Highway 1. [ 1 ] Parallel ridges running perpendicular to the sea separate the tide pools from each other and make them unique, producing communities in which organisms which ...
Montara State Beach is a popular destination for area visitors just north of the SMR, as are the tide pools at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, which will be further protected and enhanced with the creation of Montara SMR in the surrounding waters. Point Montara Light Station features an historic lighthouse.
