Description

Join naturalists from the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History on Sunday, December 20th from 2:30-3:30 pm for a guided tidepool bioblitz at The Great Tidepool. We will be using the iNaturalist app to take pictures and identify as many species as possible with a special emphasis on sea stars. 

This family-friendly program is part of the statewide Solstice Sea Star Search.
Cost: Free, no registration required. Open for all ages.

You should bring: Water shoes or waders: your feet will get wet! You will also want to use the iNaturalist app to upload pictures of tidepool creatures.
We’ll provide a tidepool bingo for kids.
Location: The Great Tidepool (J3M6+9M, Pacific Grove, CA 93950).
Tide: Low tide is at 2:51 pm (-0.03 m).
The event goes from 2:30 - 3:30 pm.
Caution: When tidepooling, always be gentle. Do not pick up animals, turn over rocks, or in any way disturb wildlife. Leave all shells, rocks, algae, and driftwood where you find them. Climb rocks slowly and cautiously, as they are slippery. Always keep an eye on ocean waves.
