This is land continuing in a high tide line and is the place where the spray of the wave hangs. At the entrance of the rough gulf of the wave, is higher than the inside of the calm gulf of the wave; is located.
Intertidal
zone
When the difference of the high and low tide is the biggest(spring tide), this says the intervals from a seamark(the best highwater line) to a low-water line (the minimum low-water line).Because there is the most inhabiting shellfish in the intertidal zone, it is distinguished more finely in the three Zone of the high tide Zone, the medium tide Zone, the low water Zone.
