Rocky tide pools, sandy tide pools, and artificial tide pools created by humans are some common types. Rocky tide pools are found along rocky coastlines with a diverse array of marine life. Sandy tide pools can be found in areas with sandy beaches and tend to have different species adapted to this habitat. Artificial tide pools are sometimes created in coastal areas for conservation or educational purposes.

Clams will accumulate the toxins produced by the red tide. Eating such contaminated clams will make people sick.
Tide pools are coastal habitats formed by the recession of ocean waters, creating temporary pools of seawater. They are home to a diverse range of marine organisms, including sea anemones, starfish, snails, and algae. Tide pools are important ecosystems for biodiversity and serve as nurseries for many marine species.
Interesting facts about tide pools include - Creatures living in and around the tide pools. There are snails and barnacles smaller than a fingertip, and crabs that are the size of your fist. In larger tide pools you might find the occasional octopus or lobster, but not often. There are also sea anemones whose worm like arms can paralyze tiny sea creatures, but would probably only tickle humans. Probably the only creature in the tide pool that could really harm the animals are the sea urchin. Most creatures that live in tide pools are in a group called invertebrates, which means they have no back bone or spine. There are many birds living around tide pools that feed on the creatures. The main enemy of tide pools is humans. They're fascinated by the beautiful sea stars, sand dollars, and hermit crabs. Humans should look but not touch. Most animals within the tide pools can get either severely injured, or even killed. The rock of the tide pools can be destroyed or damaged in many different ways, such as by wind or rain eventually wearing away the rock, or by pollution which makes the water temperatures rise, which can kill most of the creatures.
No, rock pools are typically visible when the tide is out, not when it is in. During low tide, the water recedes, exposing the rock formations and the pools that collect seawater and marine life. When the tide is in, these pools are submerged and not easily visible.
Tide pools can be the size of a backyard pond to the size of 2 semi trucks! Tide pools have many sizes and many widths.
