This carrot beaked bird, the Black Oystercatcher, is dependent upon the untrammeled off-shore rocks and tide pools for breeding and foraging sites. Tidepooling for interesting sea stars, crabs, limpets, and green anemones is a favorite past time for Californians and a destination for visitors from around the world. We share this bird's habitat for our health, play, work, discovery, and enjoyment. Please do not disturb or take tidepool organisms as they are an important part of the home of seals, sea lions, birds, and many wildlife species that use these rocks. The coastal rocky habitats rich in wildlife, culture and lore are shaped by the crashing waves and winds of the Pacific Ocean. Along its 1,100 mile length, the California Coastal National Monument is a spectacular interplay of land and sea that reinforces the human experience of lasting connections between ourselves and nature.
