Tidepool Education

Learning about tidepools is tide and true fun!

Education doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, we have so much fun teaching about the ocean and tidepools that we go all over Orange County to tell people about them! Whether it’s a STEAM festival, community event, or a visit to a classroom, we think it’s important for everyone to learn the impact they have on the California coast and the amazing species that call it home.

Creating an accessible tidepool

Accessibility to the tidepools is something that a lot of us take for granted. However, there are many people who don’t have the resources, transportation, or physical ability to make it to the tidepools. What if we could change this though? What if we could bring the tidepools to them by creating a life-size tidepool model with interactive features? That’s exactly what we did. Thanks to the Drew Forbes Legacy Fund, we were able to build a lifesize model of a tidepool that can be brought just about anywhere! This tidepool model will help to spark the curiosity and the appreciation for the ocean for individuals unable to visit the tidepools. This now opens up the possibilities of spreading awareness about Laguna Beach’s tidepools, the MPAs, and how to appreciate the local ecosystem to individuals across Orange County.
