Tide Pools of the Central Oregon Coast - Natural Art of the Tide Pools
Visiting the intertidal zones situated along the shorelines affords the explorer with opportunities to observe uniquely adapted plants and animals living in a completely different world from our very own making this a key attraction for engaging in tide pool explorations. Yet a more alluring facet of tide pool adventuring is the unforgettable natural art discovered within the daily battles for life within the tidal seas. During low tide, the explorer can observe nature's own masterpieces on display, with incredible shapes and vibrant colors coming forth vividly creating artistic impressions forever etched in the traveler's memories of time well spent on the Oregon Coast. Exploring tide pools not only can be informative, it can be similar to visiting an art gallery or a natural history museum. The gatherings of tide pool inhabitants grouped together can form amazing art displays such as in the case of sea stars gathering in a rainbow-filled cluster in search of food. The sun and water work separately, and then sometimes together forming different lighting conditions reflecting the bright colors of sea stars and green sea anemones against the backdrop of the earthly hues of the wet sand. Rugged mussel shells appear dark in color and void of life during the exposed open air conditions of low tide, yet create a sense of wonderment by their very attachment of securing themselves to the rock ledges with strong threads called byssus. Time spent exploring tide pools can become an artistic event on its own accord, where sometimes the inhabitants through their normal movements form unusual shapes and patterns creating their own art show naturally on display at low tide.
