Tides attract beachcombers
N E W P O R T — Extreme low tides
along the Oregon coast— including
some predicted record lows in June
— will expose normally inaccessible
areas o f tidepools and rocky interti
dal areas.
The low tides offer a unique op
portunity for the public to see tide-
pool plants and animals. But it also
brings a warning from an Oregon
State University Extension marine
education specialist.
“ I encourage people to visit the
tidepools during these low tides. But
remember while you ’ re there that
tidepools are fragile places and their
animals and plants can be easily de
stroyed by thoughtless or careless
acts,” said Don Giles, head o f the
public education program at the
OSU Marine Science Center in New
port.
Extreme low tides are predicted
along the Coast in the morning hours
from June 18 to 26 and July 17 to
25. Lows o f minus 3.1 and minus 3
feet are expected on June 22 and 23,
representing the lowest predictions
on record.
T id ep o o l conservation is best
served by practicing a few basic
rules, according to Giles.
F or instance, he encourages
people to touch the animals. But if
you pick them up, be sure to return
them to the same spot where you
found them. Tidepool animals are
adapted to specific areas and tide
levels w ith in the in te rtid a l zone.
They will die if left elsewhere.
M any tidepool creatures are shy
and rem ain hidden underneath
rocks. For instance, purple shore
crabs and kelp crabs are rarely seen
unless you turn over rocks to find
them.
I f you do turn rocks over, make
sure you replace them in their orig
inal position before you leave, Giles
says.
And as difficult as it may be to re
sist the urge, don’t remove any ani
mals away from the tidepool areas.
“ Slipping one turban snail in
your pocket destroys as much as 25
years o f developm ent and li f e , ”
Giles said.
Sea stars— more popularly known
as starfish— have been the unfortun
ate victims o f many souvenir hunt
ers. Unless properly preserved, says
Giles, they turn into dry, shriveled
and smelly wastes that are hardly a
pleasant memento o f a visit to the
beach.
M ost sea stars taken fro m the
tidepool area end up in the garbage
can, Giles said. M any people who
plan to preserve them discover that
preservation is complicated and ex
pensive.
“ The best way to take home tide-
pool animals is on color film ,” Giles
said.
M oreo ver, Oregon law restricts
the collecting o f non-food animals
in intertidal areas. It is unlawful to
waste or destroy any tidepool ani
mal at any time.
Protected anim als include sea
stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers,
snails, and shore, hermit and other
small crabs.
Tw o areas— the M arine Gardens
at O tte r Rock and the Cape Per-
petua Recreation A rea— are closed

A ll other areas are open to c o l
lecting, but limits o f ten animals o f
any kind are in effect. Permits can
be obtained at the OSU M arine Sci
ence Center in Newport.
When climbing around the rocky
tid ep o o l areas, be sure to watch
your step. N o t only are seaweeds
slippery, but one misplaced footstep
can destroy tidepool life , such as a
sea urchin, that took five to eight
years to develop.
I f possible, Giles recommends
avoiding intertidal areas that have
been overused. H aystack Rock at
C annon Beach Y a q u in a Head at
N e w p o rt, and Sunset B ay-A rag o
near Coos Bay have been heavily
visited and as a result only the hardi
er, more inconspicuous animals re
main.
I f left undistrubed, damaged tide-
pools take 5 to 10 years to recover.
Some plants and anim als take as
many as 25 years to reestablish
themselves.
“ By observing some basic rules o f
conduct, people can have an enjoy
able time at the tidepools and pre
serve their n atu ra l riches for
others,” Giles said.
