Animals of California’s Intertidal Zone Poster

The California intertidal zone, spanning over 800 miles of rocky shoreline (roughly 35% of the coast), is a highly diverse, dynamic, and harsh ecosystem characterized by daily, intense tidal changes. Organisms here are adapted to survive extreme fluctuations in sunlight, salinity, and temperature, arranged in distinct vertical zones—barnacles, mussels, seaweed, and sea urchins.
