Join us on an exciting journey as we explore the extraordinary encounters that rock pools offer, showcasing the incredible beauty and diversity that can be found between the tides.
1. The Mysterious Rock Pool Ecosystem
Rock pools, also known as tide pools, are shallow depressions formed on rocky shores that fill with seawater during high tides. These pools create unique microenvironments where an amazing array of marine life thrives. From tiny, colorful anemones to intricate seashells, every rock pool is a miniature universe waiting to be explored.

'I recommend Heather's book to everyone. It's brilliant!' Dara McAnulty, author of Diary of a Young Naturalist
An entrancing book of exploration, marine life and natural wonders.
'Wherever I go, I seek out beaches. They are woven through my life; a changing constant in a constantly changing world. Every walk through the rock pools, from the tideline to the low water mark, takes me on a journey into the sea and challenges my understanding of my world and of myself.'
The British beach is full of creatures that we think we know - from crabs to clams, starfish to anemones. But, in fact, we barely understand how many survive or thrive. In Rock Pool the delights of childhood paddling are elevated to oceanic discoveries, as the fragile beauty and drama of intertidal existence is illustrated through the incredible lives of twenty-four individual creatures.
The eye-opening account of a life-long passion by a talented writer and naturalist.
'Here are three simple steps to help you feel better about the world: read Heather Buttivant's marvellous book, grab a pair of wellies and get yourself to a rocky shore ... [a] thoughtful, enlightening and entertaining read.' BBC Wildlife Magazine
