Along North America’s rocky coastlines, tide pools offer a glimpse into marine life. This article explores these coastal habitats and introduces Chondrus crispus, commonly known as Irish moss.
The World of Tide Pools
Tide pools are pockets of seawater left along rocky shorelines as the tide recedes. Their conditions change with the tides, sunlight, and weather. Looking closely can reveal seaweed and a variety of marine organisms.
Observing Marine Life
The original inspiration for this article is the variety of life found along the coast, from anemones and crabs to sea stars and fish. Observe from a respectful distance and leave animals and their surroundings undisturbed.
Getting to Know Irish Moss
Chondrus crispus is a red seaweed known as Irish moss. It is one of the ingredients listed in our Original Sea Moss Gel, alongside bladderwrack.
Our gel can be stirred into smoothies, tea, or coffee, or used as a thickening ingredient in soups and sauces. For product-specific ingredients and details, review the relevant product listing and packaging.
Enjoy the Coast Responsibly
Watch where you step, leave wildlife undisturbed, and take any litter away with you. Observe posted guidance for the area you visit. Visiting a tide pool does not require collecting seaweed or other organisms.
