All along the California coast’s ocean-carved reefs, bright green anemones wave their tentacles. Purple and orange ochre sea stars clamp tightly to rocks covered in California mussels. Fluorescent blue and yellow nudibranchs crawl along floating blades of seaweed.

“The amount of diversity you can find in tidepools, I think, just makes them an exceptional place to go and visit,” says marine biologist Alison Young, the co-director of community science at San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences. “I am excited every single time about what I can potentially see when I go to the tide pools.”
