Volunteer Tidepool Monitors provide a critical service to Cabrillo National Monument, and help ensure the health of this fragile resource.
 
Since 1990, Cabrillo National Monument has been engaged in a long-term monitoring effort of the tidepools.  Thirteen key species are being monitored using four types of study techniques during spring and fall - and volunteers are a key component of the research.  Click here for a in-depth primer for Tidepool Monitoring Volunteers.
