Description
Ochre sea star (Pisaster ochraceus) along the Sonoma Coast. Tidepooling can be the ultimate moment of zen. As the tide retreats, it exposes an abundance of invertebrates that thrive on the exposed rocks. The more you look the more you see. These giant tidepool predators were nearly wiped out in the last decade due to a bacterial disease. As their numbers are rebounding, Now, their numbers are slowly recovering, it is a joy to see them in the tidepools again.
