Seattle’s extremely low tides unveil a world of sea life

On Monday morning, Seattle experienced an unusually low tide, dropping below four feet for the first time in four years, revealing underwater habitats usually hidden beneath the waves. This rare glimpse unveiled a diverse ecosystem, including sea stars, crabs, and various fish species that normally remain unseen. The event highlights how extreme tidal variations can temporarily expose marine environments, offering a unique window into the city's coastal life and underscoring the dynamic nature of coastal ecosystems. Such occurrences are crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on tidal patterns and marine biodiversity.
