Did you take pictures?

Did you post them?
Yes I took pictures.   Nope, I was too busy looking.

If you uploaded pictures somewhere, add the link here so we can share if you want.
Did you have a good time at Negative Tide Day
Among the best experiences of my life.  I wouldn't change a thing.
Awesome experience, despite a few understandable glitches.
It was ok but it wasn't all that exciting.
I was ok, but I have a few big complaints.
The whole thing was a horrible experience.
I did not attend.

Please explain any big complaints in the comments box below.
Would it be helpful to have educational booths and/or vendor booths on the beach with us in future events?  (assuming we could get permits, which might not even be possible)
Educational booths are great, keep the commercial vendors away
Commercial vendors are great, keep the educational booths away.
Either commercial or educational vendors are fine.
Keep the booths away: let's not clutter the beach
Don't care one way or the other


Do you have a favorite eco-nonprofit group we should invite to host booths at future events? Eg: Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fitzgerald Marine Sanctuary, Surfrider, etc.
Reef Etiquette  One of our goals was to teach reef etiquette.  How did we do?
Did you see anybody harvesting wildlife without a license (aka poaching)?

Do you think people were being considerate of reef life?

Did you see anybody causing obvious damage to reef life (on purpose or accidentally)?

Do you think people recognized young anemone and accidentally stepped on them, or stepped on grass without knowing what was underneath?

Did you (or anybody else) say anything to poachers or inconsiderate reef walkers?

Did you see anyone climbing on the cliffs or causing similar land-based problems?

Did you see any dogs (or dog owners) creating problems or were the dogs ok?
Do you have suggestions for future adventure events?  Like a walk at Halone Garden, kayaking at Elkhorn Slough or Monterey Bay, nature hikes thru Los Gatos, beach parties at Natural Bridges Santa Cruz, etc. (the more specific, the better).
