Checked the chart for the entire year; the -4.1 low tide at 11:51 this morning is as low as it goes for all of 2008. (Tomorrow’s close, -4.0 at 12:39 pm; beach naturalists will be out both days.) Meantime, we’ve had reminders to be kind to the wildlife that’s vulnerable at low tide – WSB’er “Bernicki” sent these photos showing what can happen if you’re not:
REMEMBER — please enjoy the sea life and leave them there. Past low tides, I’ve seen people/kids leave with buckets of soon-to-die starfish, shellfish, etc. It’s illegal and cruel. Also, DO NOT EAT anything harvested from the beach. Read and obey the posted signs.
Rest assured, no wildlife was harmed (or harvested) as I took that photo. We were very careful not to step on anything live, and to leave everything where we found it.
Sorry, comment time is over.
