#tidepool or rock pool is a shallow pool of seawater that forms on the rocky intertidal shore. These pools typically range from a few inches to a few feet deep and a few feet across.[1] Many of these pools exist as separate bodies of water only at low tide, as seawater gets trapped when the tide recedes.
