" This clip was produced on 8.11.2002. As Race Rocks Marine Protected Area is a place where large (3 meter) tidal range occurs, it is a good location to observe the raising and lowering of the water . A rock in Race Passage near the West shore of Great Race Rock was chosen and a camera was installed in front of the window of the research room in the Marine Science Center. Video clips were taken for 15 seconds every hour of daylight, high tide occured during noontime. The second part of the clip shows the tide going in fast motion, a day at the rock passes in 25 seconds."
