While visiting Makena Beach on the island of Maui, Brent and Elsa wandered the beach looking for tide pools to check out .They were amazed at the life their gopro caught once the footage was downloaded.
Observing all the miniature marine life that dwells in the pools can be fascinating, as long as you make sure not to disturb or step on them, especially urchins.
Brent didn't go to far into the pool in fear of stepping on something not pleasant but used a pole with his camera.
Stepping on a sea urchin can be very painful, and removing the spine is best to be done as soon as possible if it is not buried too deeply. Vinegar can help ease the pain but best idea is to see a doctor if pain persists.
Along with a few different types of urchins, there were also sergeant fish spotted in the pools. These little guys are a member of the damselfish species and grow to around 5 inches long.
It was a great little excursion to the shallows of Maui's Makena Beach.
