Bernice Waves from Beach/Tide pool

Bernice walks down the steps to the beach and tide pool and waves back to me. I am on the viewing platform.

Tide pooling Tips: Remember it is a very FRAGILE and slippery environment.
- Go slowly.
- Step on bare spots, not the plants and animals
- Do not walk in the pools.
- To avoid injuries to the animals, please OBSERVE them, DO NOT DISTURB. What animals will you find? Sea stars (starfish), plant-like green anemones, spiny purple sea urchins, mussels, volcano shaped barnacles, turban snails, hermit crabs, small fish called sculpins and many more.
