How do Animals Survive?


Animals in the Intertidal Zone must survive the action of the waves. Intertidal organisms protect themselves from being smashed against rocks or found washed up on beaches in many different ways.




Abalones secure themselves to rocks with their strong muscular feet.

Crabs hide under algae


Barnacles permanently attach themselves to rocks or shells


Periwinkle snails produce a glue to help them stay put


Mussels produce something called byssal threads that attach them to rocks.
