Intertidal Etiquette
Intertidal habitats may well be the most sensitive areas visited in this book, and naturalists, resource managers, and marine biologists throughout our region are extremely concerned about the impact on these areas. Please observe proper intertidal etiquette when you visit:
• Avoid stepping on any plants or animals. Step on bare rock or sand.
• Do not collect any living things. Enjoy them where they are, in their natural habitat.
• If you do gently pick up something, put it back exactly where you got it as soon as possible.
• Do not pull off animals attached to the rocks. A few animals, such as hermit crabs and snails, can be picked up gently from the bottom of pools, but if you have to use any force don’t do it; you can damage the animal.
• If you lift and look carefully under seaweed or rocks, return them gently to their original condition.
• Please remove any litter whenever possible.
Some biologists and resource managers feel that people visiting intertidal areas should not touch anything or disturb rocks in any way. Others feel that careful and aware tidepoolers can explore these areas without harming them. Some areas such as marine gardens and national parks are legally protected from disturbance.
In addition, take safety precautions. Wear shoes with grippy soles. Avoid stepping on seaweed; it’s as slippery as mucus. Pay attention to the waves and incoming water.
