This meeting ground between land and sea is called the intertidal. The plants and animals inhabiting this region are hardy and adaptable, able to withstand periodic exposure to air and the force of the pounding surf. Intertidal communities occur on sandy beaches, in bays and estuaries, and on wharf pilings, but the communities of rocky shorelines are perhaps the most diverse and the most densely populated. Rock faces, crevices, undersides of rocks, and tidepools each support an array of species. </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Plants and Animals"><U>Next</U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
