    <h2>Are Our Tide Pools Healthy?</h2>
      <p>Rocky intertidal zones, sometimes referred to as tide&nbsp;pools, are a diverse ecosystem. Organisms living in tide&nbsp;pools have to deal with naturally harsh conditions such as spending time out of water and dealing with strong wave action. In addition, tide&nbsp;pools are impacted by human activities, such overexploitation and trampling and are vulnerable to climate change. </p>
      <p>Long term monitoring of these habitats helps us understand how tide&nbsp;pool plant and animal populations change over time and gives us information to help determine the condition of these ecosystems.</p>
