Pools of water that form near the ocean due to shallow dips in the landscape. When the tide goes out the water is trapped in these small pools. When the tide is in they are just another part of the ocean.

Tidepools are formed in intertidal zones, the area between high tide and low tide; they are continually being redesigned by wind, water and rock. As the wind blows across the oceans, which, over time, slowly erodes shorelines, sandy beaches, bays, estuaries, and wharf pilings creating hollows where an array of plants and animals live. The plants and animals inhabiting these regions are hardy and adaptable; they are subject to a range of conditions not encountered in the relative stability of the deep ocean. They are able to withstand periodic exposure to sun, air, temperature changes, and the pounding surf. The communities of rocky shorelines are perhaps the most diverse and the most densely populated by plants and animals. These plants and animals can be found on rockfaces, in crevices, and the undersides of rocks.

Be nice to tide pools, we probably evolved from them.
