"Makapuu Tidepools"

"Makapuu Tidepools"

These tide-pools which only exist as a separate entity at low tide, have their own unique ecosystem. There is a rich diversity of life including coral and many juvenile fish. I hope I didn't upset the balance too much as I stood in the pool being nibbled at for 30 min or so. These pools are recognized as an important nursery for many species.

In the background are Manana Is...land (Rabbit Island) and Kaohikaipu Island (Turtle Island) which are State Seabird Sanctuaries, home to numerous avian species including over 10,000 Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, as well as the Hawaiian Monk Seal
