Reflections on scale

 
 
We've been doing some surveys up in Mendocino County.  Today (11 September 2022) we came across this tidepool (shown above).  It might be hard to judge the scale at first, but if you can find Eric in the photo you will see that this is a very large tidepool!  (You can click on the image for a larger version.  Eric is standing on the left edge of the pool.)  The water was very clear today and this pool had many sea urchins and a few bat stars.

    That IS a large tidepool! How do you survey something like that? It would be impossible to get into that water to do the survey without stepping on "someone". We'd be interested to know how you do your work! Thanks!
