The image shows a coastal scene during what appears to be either sunrise or sunset, as the lighting is warm and golden. In the foreground, there are large, rugged rocks with patches of green algae or moss. The rocky shoreline extends into the distance, with the ocean on the right side of the image. The water is relatively calm, with gentle waves lapping against the rocks. On the left side, there is a cliff with a reddish-brown hue, and a few structures can be seen on top of it, possibly buildings or fences. The sky is clear with a soft gradient from blue to a light orange near the horizon. A few birds are flying in the sky above the cliffs.

This Is Why We Protect Our Tidepools

This news report demonstrates why our Tidepool Protection, Education, and Restoration Program (TPERP) volunteers are so important in protecting our tidepools and educating the public in how to care for the delicate resource. The news report, from Channel 8, is from the recent king tides exposing the tidepools in La Jolla.
