Journal: Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and Pescadero State Beach

Today I went with my bestie Carson to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and Pescadero State Beach. We first arrived at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve around 9:30 am this morning. The weather was not too cold or warm, but it was breezy. We climbed some onto some rocks to look tidepools and we did in fact find some up on the higher rocks as the tide was somewhat high. I found some sea anemones, barnacles, and a dead crab. There were also a lot of red algae washed up from the tide. After spending about 45 minutes there we then went to Pescadero State Beach where I also saw an anemone, but there weren't any crustaceans visible. We spent about 40 minutes there as well. There were a lot of rocks and inclines we had to go through in order to explore the beach as much as we could. In total I walked about 3,500 steps. It would be hard to go at low tide which would be very early in the morning and later in the evening since it's a far drive for us. However, I will definitely go again to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, possibly during the evening to look for other aquatic organisms such as starfish.
