Join a Birch Aquarium naturalist to explore this local tide pool and learn about its unique animals. Discover the importance of this ever-changing environment and how you can help protect these habitats. Location: Meet at False Point What is a “King Tide”? The term “King Tide” is a phrase that refers to the highest tides and lowest tides of the year. Though not a scientific term, it’s a common way to describe these tidal events, which are usually one-to-two feet above average than the rest of the year. King Tides happen when both the sun and moon are at their closest to the Earth so the stronger gravitational pull produces exceptionally high and low tides. The change can be dramatic, with seawater reaching areas it normally doesn’t and flooding places that are otherwise above the waterline. Birch Aquarium’s Tide Pool Plaza and Blue Beach both offer excellent vantage points to view the King Tide at its peaks! While the intertidal zone is constantly experiencing the ocean’s ebb and flow throughout the year, the King Tides are far more dramatic and offer an opportunity to learn more about the impact of ocean levels on the coast as well as the fascinating habitats at the edge of the sea. King Tides are also an excellent time to observe what a change in sea level looks like on a broad scale. By studying these events, scientists can map how rising ocean temperatures and sea levels could impact coastal communities. Observing which places experience flooding can inform future conservation plans or provide early warning for places that might be at higher flooding risk long-term. Low Tide Exploration During the low period of King Tides, water levels also drop more dramatically than average. Usually-hidden habitats are revealed along with all of the native species who call these dynamic habitats home. Southern California tide pools are home to a wide variety of species from anemones and urchins to fish, crabs and lobsters, to sea slugs and even octopuses! “Tidepooling during King Tides allows humans to explore typically inaccessible habitats that are teeming with life and are critical to our coastal ecosystems,” said Matthew Arrollado, Public Programs Coordinator. “It’s important to be a conscientious explorer when tidepooling and to take only pictures and leave only footprints!” Join a Birch Aquarium Educator for Tidepooling Adventures to explore our local tide pools. During a 90-minute outing, guests will responsibly explore this sensitive habitat while learning how to safely navigate slippery rocks and spot the most elusive creatures. Discover the incredible species that live in the intertidal zone as well as the adaptations that make them uniquely fit for this rugged environment.

Nos encontramos en medio de una crisis ambiental, y nuestro estilo de vida actual está en conflicto con los sistemas naturales que posibilitan nuestra existencia, especialmente cuando se trata de construir nuestras casas. En Baja un colectivo de bioconstructores llamado Tequio ha implementado un método milenario que podría ayudar a aliviar estas presiones ambientales. En el episodio de hoy, nos sentamos con Alex Santander, un arquitecto basado en Tijuana para hablar sobre construir un futuro que esté en armonía con el planeta. Además, nos unimos a los miembros de Tequio, Diego Larios y Miguel Ángel Pérez para una lección sobre la construcción con arcilla. Acompañanos mientras exploramos qué significa construir teniendo en mente al planeta, utilizando métodos del pasado para enfrentar los desafíos de hoy.
