Central Coast

Leave tidepool inhabitants where they are

Intertidal organisms are adapted for the places you find them…unless they’ve been moved.

Moving an animal to “a better spot” is likely a death sentence for that animal: what appears to be a small change to us may be an unsurvivable change to them. (Imagine being dropped in the Arctic in winter or the Sahara in summer.)
