About this episode
Tide pools may look like simple puddles along the shoreline, but they are tiny ocean ecosystems filled with fish, crabs, snails, sea stars, worms, algae, and other hidden marine life.
In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin explains why tide pools are one of the best ways to experience the ocean without a boat, scuba gear, or expensive equipment. These small pools reveal how much life exists right at our feet, and why slowing down is often the best way to discover it.
You will learn how tide pools support biodiversity, why they help coastal species survive between tides, and how they can inspire curiosity in kids, families, and anyone who wants to reconnect with the ocean.
