You
can have fun looking in rock pools, these pages tell what you may find in
rock pools. You may find several coloured of algae (seaweed) red, brown and
green. Along with glasswort (marsh samphire) Plumose
Anemone, sea lavender, sea aster, sea pink and scurvy grass, and a whole lot
more.
But I'm sure like most people your going to be particularly interested in
the sea creatures, some of them stuck to the rocks, some of them swimming in
the rock pools. |
Rock pools, are pools of sea water trapped in the rocks after the tide
went out, as the day progresses those pools will start to evaporate and the
water in them may get quite hot. By the time the tide comes in once more
there may be quite a lot of creatures dead, so plan to arrive at the beach
just after the tide has gone out.
Don't go poking your hands into the water where you cant see very well,
you never know what's lurking in there, and you might just get your fingers
pinched or stung, if you do pick up a creature, after you have examined it,
PUT IT BACK else it will soon die. |
