It was a very chilly November evening, but that didn’t stop a group of intrepid tidepoolers from the UW marine science RSO, SeaDawgs, from exploring the shoreline! Armed with flashlights, copious warm layers of clothing, and rubber boots, we set out to observe the fascinating critters that call the tide pools of one of our local beaches “home”.

After coordinating the transportation of an entire bus-load of students to Golden Gardens Beach and meeting up with others along the way, we enjoyed candy and prepped our materials to navigate the near pitch-black shores under the night sky.
