The intertidal zone, also known as the littoral zone, is the area of the shore that is exposed to air at low tide and submerged at high tide. It is a unique and challenging environment that is constantly changing due to the rise and fall of the tides.
How do human activities impact the intertidal zone, and what measures can be taken to protect this fragile ecosystem?
Exploring these questions will provide a deeper understanding of the intertidal zone and the fascinating adaptations of the organisms that inhabit this dynamic environment.
