Explore Oregon's Coastline with a Certified Tide Pool Guide
Jamie Kish, a tide pool ambassador at the Cape Perpetua Collective, educates the public about the intertidal life that needs protection on the Oregon coast. She encourages visitors to reach out and touch the marine life, including giant green anemones, snails, blue mussels, and barnacles. However, climate change is a major threat to these ecosystems, and recent studies have shown intertidal life to be particularly reactive to change. Kish offers tours of the tide pools during extreme low tides of summer, which are available to book online.
