salt In the month of July when precipitation is low, the high tidepool number 7 accumulates salts as the water evaporates. Occasional west winds add spray to the pool. Levels of salinity go off the scale of the Salinometer. Levels as high as 100 parts per thousand have been recorded. This picture shows crystalline material from the edge of the pool, with a green algae growing among the crystals.

Tidepools 7and 8 are very close together, differing only a few cm. in elevation. The salinity and temperatures of the pools may vary however. It might be worthwhile to document these variations and propose some explanations for the variation.
