Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach, CA: 2022-03-09

Leading tidepool tour at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, San Mateo County, California
Wednesday March 9th, 2022


Weather & Tide

+1.0 at 9:30 am pm; Sunny, but cool morning air. Windy with some surge. Could just see the edge of the urchine beds, but the water was really close. Not a good place to stay for long.

Duties & Visitors

Lead a tour, Crystal Springs school from Belmont. Respectful and fun, although the teacher had trouble keeping up. Joined by Ranger Darren, tall younger guy.

Observations

Not great -- tide was not good at all. Bat & leather, Gumboot. Pretty limited. Stayed afterwards to chat with Marsha about the donar database.
