The intertidal area is where land and sea meet, between tide marks, along coastlines. The intertidal zone is exposed to air at low tide and submerged at high tide. The area consists of many different habitats including mudflats, sandy beaches, wetlands, or rocky cliffs. Organisms in this zone have adapted to harsh and extreme conditions in order to survive.
