Bright and early on Wednesday morning we gathered up and walked down to the low tides which was the lowest I've ever seen a tide. It exposed 3 sections of coral and rocky outcropping for us to explore the biodiversity within. As we begin to traverse the intertidal we begin to see all the different species at the varying depths. Starting at the farthest coral formation we started our search and found many hermit crabs occupying foreclosed snail homes. A surprising find was a rather large octopus was stuck outside of a tidepool trying to stay moist and hide from shorebirds. We managed to get him safely into a deep tidepool where he was able to hide in the rocks. We explored this area alittle longer and slowly moved back as the tide begin to rise covering the exposed coral once again.
