Estuarine ecosystems contain intertidal zones that are home to diverse plant and animal life. These areas experience regular fluctuations from high tides submerging the land to low tides exposing coastal regions. A variety of species have adapted to this transitional environment through physical attributes and behaviors that allow them to tolerate periods of immersion or emergence according to the natural ebb and flow of tides.
