Tide pools are endless treasure chests of ocean gems. Wild creatures! Beautiful shells! Real Life Moana!

Just finished an ocean treasure hunt—which became a trasher hunt! 😳 Every piece collected means less harm to marine life and our ecosystems. Did you know? 🐢 By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by weight. 🌍 Only 9% of the plastic ever made has been recycled, with the rest piling up in landfills and our oceans. 🌞 Sunlight breaks down plastic into tiny pieces called microplastics, which end up in the food chain and even in our water….and in us! Every small action counts! Let’s protect our ocean and all the creatures that call it home. 🌊💙 #OceanCleanup #SaveOurSeas #AlisonsAdventures

Life in a treehouse is pretty coconuts, especially when you magically transform into a mermaid to help clean the oceans with your bestie, Ocho the octopus! 🐙🌊 Did you know octopuses have a hectocotylus? It’s a special, shorter arm they use for reproduction—talk about multi-tasking limbs! What’s even cooler? The hectocotylus is detachable, meaning Ocho can share a little piece of himself when it’s time to find his love. Wild eh!? 🐙 While Ocho’s busy being amazing, we’re tackling ocean pollution one dive at a time. 🌊💪 Who’s ready to join our ocean-saving adventures? #TreehouseLife #MermaidMission #SaveTheOceans #OctopusFacts

There's just no telling how far I'll go 🏝️

Did you know crabs molt to grow bigger? 🦀 They shed their old shell and wait for a new, bigger one to harden! Kinda like life—sometimes you gotta let go of what doesn’t fit anymore to grow into something amazing. 🌊✨ #TidepoolTreasures #NatureForKids #OceanAdventures #LearnWithKids #MarineLifeMagic #FamilyAdventures #OutdoorLearning #CuriousLittleMinds #BeachDayDiscoveries #EcoEducation”

I do wonder what lies beyond! Do you?

Do you sea the green flash?

Did you know crab exoskeletons are made of chitin, a natural material that breaks down and helps nourish the ecosystem? 🌊🦀 While exploring tide pools on the hot lava, I found some exoskeletons (don’t worry, these crabs have already molted or moved on 🦀✨) and gave them a little squish—especially the eyes, as requested! 👀 Fun fact: the exoskeleton is like armor for crabs, protecting them until they outgrow it and leave it behind. By squishing these leftover shells, I help them break down faster and return vital nutrients to the ocean. 💧♻️ What should I squish next? Drop your ideas below! 💭👇

🌋🔥 Just another day sprinting across hot lava to uncover treasures in tide pools! 🐚✨ Along the way, I found Sam the sea cucumber, stranded as the tide pool started drying up. Did you know sea cucumbers breathe through their butts (yes, really!) and can only survive out of water for a short time because they rely on water to breathe and stay hydrated? 🥵💦 Luckily, I was able to save Sam before it was too late. 🌊💙 Remember, every little rescue counts when it comes to protecting our ocean friends! #TidePoolAdventures #SeaCucumberFacts #OceanRescue #Moana2 #SeaCreatures

Exploring tide pools feels like Christmas morning—every little nook is filled with surprises! 🐚 From colorful creatures to hidden treasures, the ocean never fails to amaze. 🌊✨ Wishing you a holiday season full of tropical warmth, ocean magic, and endless adventures! 🌴🎄 #TidePoolTreasures #HolidayAdventures #AlisonsAdventures

Rescuing Ocho the Octopus from a scary sea urchin! 🐙✨ Did you know sea urchins help keep reefs healthy by eating algae? 🌿 But be careful—they have sharp spines that can break off in your skin, releasing venom that causes pain, swelling, and irritation if you step on one! 😬 Always watch your step on the reef! Or bettet yet - never step on fragile reef!!! 🌊💙 #OceanAdventure #SaveTheOcean #OctopusRescue #animalrescue #SeaUrchinSafety #moana2

Tried to rescue Frank the sea cucumber and got almost taken out by a big wave!
