===High Tide Zone=== The high tide zone is [[flood]]ed during each high tide, which occurs once or twice daily. Organisms must survive [[Wind wave|wave action]], [[Ocean current|currents]], and long exposure to the sun and open air.<ref name=":1" /> This zone is predominantly inhabited by [[seaweed]] and [[invertebrates]], such as [[sea anemone]]s, [[sea star]], [[chiton]]s, [[crab]]s, [[green algae]], and [[mussels]]. Marine [[algae]] provide shelter for [[nudibranch]]s and [[hermit crab]]s. The same waves and currents that make life in the high tide zone difficult bring food to [[filter feeder]]s and other intertidal organisms. {{clear}}
