Mostly I was checking out the fish and invertebrates coming up into the shallow waters and rock pools. Filed my first ever inaturalist observations!

    Congratulations on iNaturalist! We use images from iNaturalist on Wikipedia all the time, so we're intensely grateful for the work y'all do. Did you see any crustaceans by chance?

    It was so hard to get a good look at them but some of the rock pools had some kind of shrimp in them. I could just barely make them out, and definitely couldn’t get any pictures. Love seeing invertebrates!

    Oh hell yeah. I don't do too much research into shrimps, but if you ever fall way too far down that rabbit hole, the guy to go to is Sammy De Grave at the University of Oxford. He works on WoRMS (the World Register of Marine Species) and absolutely loves caridean shrimp. Really nice guy.

    Wow, I didn't know that! I move a lot around my country for my work and I make it an habit to snap pictures and post any interesting flora and fauna to iNaturalist. Many times I even post pics of common weeds and I found out they have some cool names and properties! In fact I learned about a lot of new herbs which I thought were just weed. I love iNaturalist, learned a lot from the community. Everybody should give it a try. What's normal or common for you might be a new discovery for someone else.
