Animals living on the rocks surface are called epifauna, these organisms in the rocky intertidal are fully exposed to the elements, causing a lot of physical stress. Low tides usually are problems for organisms with the highest part of the intertidal almost never immersed. Another abiotic factor includes the coping with wave shock, organisms must be able to withstand, or find shelter. One last factor is space which is so limited at times, that organisms may attach to each other instead of the rocks.
1. Many intertidal animals burrow in the sand
2. when tide is in the animals are preyed on by fish
3. When tide is out the animal are preyed on people + foxes
4. Plants often seen in this zone are the Sea Grape and the Red Mangrove
5. There are four parts of the intertidal zone: Spray Zone, High Tide Zone, Middle Tide Zone, Low Tide Zone
water, soil , and air
The 3 Abiotic factors of the sunlight zone is 1. Average Tempture- 64.4 2. Water Pressure- 29.4-148lbs 3- Light Level-?????
The shallow water zone is defined as the zone of maximum interaction between humans and critical biological resources - the intertidal zone to four meters below Mean Low Water.
2 factors are abiotic and biotic factors. Abiotic factors are nonliving things and biotic factors are living things
Organisms in the intertidal zone experience greater extremes of temperature and wave action than organisms in the near shore zone.

I be live one of the most uncommon omnivore in the intertidal zone is a sponge
some biotic & abiotic foctors include plants,animals, & this is about 87%
