The Secret Life of Rock Pools

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you so much to Endel for sponsoring this video!! The first 100 people to download ENDEL by clicking bit.ly/3DXRzxr will gain free access for 1 week :D This video is a little different to normal - I mainly use public domain deep sea footage from other major organisations for my deep sea series, but in this video all the footage is my own! Rock pools are incredibly beautiful and are so easily accessible, yet they're still really overlooked. I decided to head out and film this on-location to highlight just how close you can come to the marine world by visiting rock pools and coming face to face with this staggering ecosystem yourself. So, I apologise if the change in style or cinematography is a little jarring - this is not a 'new normal' for the deep sea series, and the usual videos with ROV footage and alien-like creatures will return, but nonetheless this is a project I'm very excited to share with you all :)

Thank you

[@Cordelia-again]

I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.

As a child I loved rockpools you could find so many interesting things in there! It’s a shame things just aren’t as bustling as they used to be! We used to have a pond at our old primary school and go fishing and learn about all the species there but even that’s closed now, this is the sort of stuff I want to teach my kids

[@rodrigosays]

I’ve seen your videos from the beginning and watching your channel grow is exciting! You always had great content using the sources you had, but now you’ve added a much more personal touch. I love seeing your passion for nature, the family member a lot of use tend to neglect. I don’t want to say you would be great to fill Sir David Attenborough’s shoes (there isn’t a way to really haha) because I feel on a human level you are both on par with each other. Rather he has much more experience and wisdom that comes with time. So I can’t wait for you to experience more and more of this world and gain more wisdom. Thank you for doing this for us and for the earth!! It’s a lot of hard work and it shows!! Also spectacular writing!! Thanks again for doing this and you are doing an amazing job.

[@davidarthur1185]

loved the video as a native of Jersey and the channel islands I dont see much on our wild life and sea life shown in a video like this so its good to see something like this as its something we all see as kids but few ever look into also if you do want to do more of these types of videos I dont think anyone would mind each island in the channel has amazing ecosystems great job cant wait to see more

This sort of live commentary combined with your classic calming narration really is similar to a lot of the nature docs in watched as a kid. Def some of your greatest content yet.

I'm studying to become a marine biologist. I'm absolutely burned-out out this week, really out there between a part time job and uni. It's really late at night as I write this. I decided to take a break and watch something, anything really and your channel came across. I can't thank you enough for doing all this work! Thank you so much for reminding me why Im studying so hard. Thank you, really 💜

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thanks for watching, Val. Stick with it and push through, I really hope it becomes more manageable soon and that you’re able to enjoy the course more as time goes on. It really is worth it - the oceans are such a breathtaking other world, and in the end the hard work will all pay off. Wishing you all the best!!!! I too have just started my marine bio studies, so I think we’re in very similar situations. The best way to keep focused is to just try to remind yourself of why you’re doing this, of what made you fall in love with marine life in the first place. It’s a world of natural wonders like no other, home to incredible ecosystems and fascinating organisms. There’s no other course quite like it :)

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

Damn, I feel bad that this kid can no longer use footage from other sources and give us his wonderful and informative narration on top of it. The shores of New Jersey aren't filled with an abundance of interesting life forms, that's for sure. I bet we hear his voice on some real documentaries in a few years, however. Or maybe some other type of voice over work? He does have an enchanting voice, and that's a fact.

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

I can still use other footage, and have many vids lined up in my usual style :D It was just one organisation that took issue with me using their footage. With many others, I have a number of friends and contacts who allow me to use their footage. This video is a one-off as I happened to be near Jersey’s rock pools while on holiday in the Channel Islands and figured I’d film an original video about these spectacular ecosystems! Stay tuned for more of my classic deep sea content soon! I definitely hope to narrate some real documentaries someday, that’d be a dream come true. Thank you so much for the lovely comment ☺️

When I was a little kid, my brothers and I couldn’t WAIT to go to the beach in Florida every year. My brothers wanted the waves and the sand, but I would not rest until one of the elders that went with us took me to a bay or anywhere there were rock pools. One year, the week that we went, the current brought in TONS of this mixture of Sargasso weed and some other fine green algae. The entire 10 mile stretch of beach was completely covered along with about 20’ of the water. EVERYONE was all bummed out, EXCEPT ME! I LOVED it! I was in heaven with all of the creatures and sea life that it brought in with it! I’ll never forget that summer. And neither will all of my family(for different reasons!) I love your videos, my friend! They are a main reason that I look forward to logging on every morning. Thank You!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

That’s such a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing it here. I was always exactly the same! We’d go on holiday to the beach and the whole family would be sunbathing or lying on towels on the sandy bits. Meanwhile, I’d run off to the seaweed beds and the rock pools with my bucket. It was brilliant!

[@rfdebeaumont]

As a kid, my parents would take me on holidays all along the Mediterranean coast and I would together, with my brother, always scoure the tide pools, collecting all lifeforms we could find. They always struck us as mysterious microcosms, much more interesting than our own, barren sandy north-sea beaches in Holland. We used scoop-nets, our bare hands or a clothespin attached to a rope and outfitted with bait to lure the crabs. We would keep all organisms in a bucket the whole day and would always draw a crowd of kids to see what we had found. We once had a baby octopus who released ink into the bucket, rendering the entire scene pitch black. Then after, he clambered out and vanished... Ahh the memories, such good times exploring!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Those are some truly wonderful recollections! I had similar childhood experiences on England’s rockpools, but never found something as exciting as an octopus! Yet still, even the isopods as shrimps kept me enthralled for hours. I never wanted to leave, but the tide always forced my visits to be cut short. It’s incredible - a breathtaking world that renews and replenishes every few hours. An entire ecosystem that is birthed and destroyed each day!

[@rfdebeaumont]

Time for a trip to the Mediterranean my friend!😎 Tide pools can be found all over the world, each with their own uniquely adaptated organisms.

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

That would be incredible!! And you’re absolutely right, rock pool creatures around the world are so different yet all equally well adapted to such a unique habitat. What else do you find in the Med that might have eluded me here in the UK?

[@rfdebeaumont]

@@NaturalWorldFacts It's been a long time (I'm 34) but I'd say: sea urchins. If you reach below their spikes and apply gentle but firm pressure, they come off the rock giving you a look at their bellies lined with manifold suckers on spaghetti-ish arms. Put them on the shore and see their spikes glisten and dance in the sunlight as they slowly make their way back to the nearest body of water. Also, hermit crabs are fun too. They'll come popping out to have a look at their surroundings if you leave the shell alone, face-up for a bit. Surely worth a visit sometime. Keep it up with the great content!✌

Every summer holiday for eight years was spent in this beautiful town, and many hours were spent climbing around the rock pools between Anstruther and Cellardyke, bucket and net in hand, a crab line and bait for the deeper pools. It was a sensory overload - waves crashing in the distance, the pungent smell of the seaweed, the taste of salt hanging in the air, jagged rocks underfoot, slipping and sliding, looking for any purchase, as my younger brother and I clambered down to where we were told not to go. Rain was no deterrent - you were getting wet anyway, so the weather wasn't an issue. Wonderful video.

I grew up on the Pacific coast, and my parents would drive down to the beaches all the time to let 5-year-old me freely explore the tide pools. I took for granted those little beaches for the longest time but now I'm so glad I could experience them as a child. There's something so wonderful about finding little crabs, limpets, hearing the calls of seagulls, wading in the frigid cold water (with rainboots of course, or your feet get cut up) and just seeing a part of nature different than your standard park or backyard. I think spending time on those beaches is what gave me the fascination I have with the ocean now.

@@NaturalWorldFacts Well you certainly brought a touch of nostalgia to my heart, Leo. So professional too.. you will definitely be following in the great Sir David Attenborough's shoes and I for one cannot wait! 👍🤗

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

That’s really kind of you, thank you so much ☺️

[@kevinmulcahy7991]

So glad I found this Channel.

[@hereticideas]

Another daily dose of @NaturalWorldFacts😍 just made my day☺️

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Aww thanks ☺️

10/10 love the personal touch and commentary

[@MirorgGrelon]

Honestly, your work is just amazing. I hope that you can continue to follow your passion and for as long as you want

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you, that’s so lovely of you

[@Freffs]

Turns out you're a natural in front of the camera as well! The quality of your videos is just astonishing, thanks for the great content. You have truly found your calling:)

[@pvtbhappy]

You give off the same calming, yet ever-informative presence as Attenborough. Keep it up

[@noelnade2116]

Thank you so much for making these. You brighten up my day.

[@Tomo01234]

your voice sounds like a woman on her 40ths. I love your voice its so calming

[@briannenurse4640]

The presence and gravitas in your voice and your delivery of the information you provide rivals David Attenborough. It was surprising to see how young you actually are. I hope you continue sharing your knowledge and your soothing tones with the world.

[@savannahrae9122]

This video was brilliant! Your voice-over combined with live commentary and the rock pool tour with you was a very enjoyable experience thank you 🥰

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

I’m so glad!! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@nicola3540]

Your voice is PERFECT for Natural history narration!

[@bleib4855]

Really takes me back to the times my family took me foraging at the sea. Really appreciating how here how every orghanism is specializied in a certain way to survive and fill in a role or a niche for a working ecosystem. Also your narrations are beautiful, I didnt expect your voice to be that soothing in natura as well :D

[@theflyingcrud]

This is a fantastic video! I actually got a little emotional honestly, you do such a wonderful job showing our living world. Love your channel man, always looking forward to the content

[@RyuuNoSenshi]

Tide pools are fascinating and this video was beautifully shot and presented

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Couldn’t have done it without my partner/camerawoman Ella :D

[@JLow6]

This has been my go-to nature channel since I lost access to NatGeo shows.

[@katsion8853]

It went from a face reveal for me to a toe reveal lol. Amazing vid! You show us just how truly beautiful this planet is!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Cheers haha 😂 Thanks for being so supportive!!

[@rasnaalim7774]

Wish we could be friends :( i could listen to you talk for hours. I’ve learned so much from you. And Ella did such an amazing job with the filming!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Aw thank you so much, that’s really sweet of you!!! Keep in touch ☺️

[@AUZlE]

You have a true talent, I admire your ability to narrate and educate. I'll continue watching your videos as long as they're posted.

[@konradbauer685]

This channel is a real gem for all who loves the H²O element and his great variety of fantastic fauna & flora also the narratives and the very smooth and patient vocals are in complete symbioses with the topic i enjoyed from every minute and from all videos You really have talent for this kind of work i can see you easily presenting a natural show about the fascinating oceans and their living creatures low bow and keep on course

[@TeaDrinkingGuy]

This video is so nostalgic for me. I spent my days as a kid trawling through rockpools with my family, finding crabs shrimps, nudibranchs, fish and winkles. When I wasn't doing that, I was usually watching some Brian Cox documentary, which your narration style really reminds me of. Really enjoyed that, thanks!

[@PflugyFresh]

Love this type of video with you talking in front of the camera. Also shout out to my New Jersey people!

[@reyadhrahaman7778]

Expertly shot, edited, and narrated. I got a real sense for how these rock pools operate as a complex ecosystem.

[@dbuga6867]

I love your videos so much. Cheers mate!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you 😁😁

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Truly impressive work you do, regardless of your age. Lean into your passion and don’t worry about anybody else’s opinions. I’m turning 27 next week and I wish I had learned this way sooner. What people call “nerdy” in high school usually becomes “passionate” in adulthood, and those people are often really successful in their field and seem to be quite happy/fulfilled with their work. I’m confident you will be successful in this field, keep up the great work! P.s. tell your friend/camera man to slow down the panoramic sweeping shots if y’all do this again. It’s hard to do in the moment but my dizzy brain appreciates it!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you so much Sarah for the wise kind words, and also for the very helpful feedback and tips. I’ve been in love with nature for as long as I can remember, so I really hope I can continue doing this long into the future.

[@mariafoivi3599]

oh wow, I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing

[@singsangization]

I think we are witnessing the rise of a new David Attenborough! Good work kid! Great videos! Keep em coming

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thanks so much!!!

[@naginideveloper8386]

Love this style of video. Good job! Keep up!

[@smalkglass9869]

i love this video, very well done. to me your videos feel david attenborough'y, so captivating!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you 😁

[@otherpatrickgill]

Oh, is that what you look like. I didn't know anything about you based on your voice: old or young, male or female, race, etc - for me that worked because it could be anyone telling me about the natural world. I always find your videos inforative and calming. This one in particular brings back very fond memories of exploring rock pools as a child and the sense of wonder I felt for the natural world. Don't ever lose that, no matter how many problems there are in the envionment (external and internal). Bless you

[@Beryllahawk]

What a wonderful video! And I have to say you're pretty brave, I think I wouldn't have been able to leave my feet in the water with the shrimps there nibbling away, haha! I'm far too ticklish and a bit unnerved by small creeping things! The footage was quite well done also - you put in a lot of effort here and it shows! Thank you for sharing your interest with us and for keeping up this channel, it can't be easy for you!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you so much Sonja, I’m a sucker for creepy crawlies and little critters so it was an easy task, but I can understand why you’d be hesitant to dip your feet in these waters haha 😂 especially with so many large crabs lurking under the rocks!! Thanks so much for the support by the way - your comment made me smile :)

[@julianovak8428]

i love to watch your videos to relax. your voice is very calming and you videos are very informative.

[@Gullikind73]

as always your work is just GREAT I can't say enough how much I love your videos

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Aww thank you!!
