TIDEPOOL

· ** What is a Tide Pool? **  o Tide pools are made when the ocean recedes from the coastline during low tidal periods. This is called when the “tide goes out.” o Ocean water is trapped in small pools in the rocks and shoreline (like giant puddles) and so tide pools are like mini-oceans, often filled with many creatures, including various sea animals and plants that make the pools their home.
