California's coastal areas are experiencing high King Tides this fall, offering unique opportunities to observe the intertidal zone and understand sea level rise impacts. Birch Aquarium is hosting Tidepooling Adventures for a closer look, with tickets priced from $17 to $25. The California Coastal Commission's King Tides Project invites the public to photograph these high tides on November 15-17 and December 13-15.
