About this little coast
This is an idealized semidiurnal tide: roughly 12 hours 25 minutes between high waters, compressed into two minutes. Real shores may have different tidal patterns. Day and night are illustrative, not a local forecast.
These are original, simplified drawings of Pacific rocky-shore life. Observe real tide pools gently; leave animals where they are. Learning notes are based on NOAA and National Park Service resources.
