In this section, include a brief description of the allocated ecosystem. You should include the following information:

 

 

                                                                               

Physical Factors :o

                  The high tide and low tide exposes the amount of land through it's daily tide cycle                                        

                 The temperature ranges from the temperature of the water to air temperature , showing from cold to hot.     

                 The waves can carry poorly-adapted organism away.                                                                                          

                 The salinity of tide pools varies from the salinity of the sea to much less salty by rainwater or ETC.

Food Web :P

Create a food web using at least eight of the living organisms listed above. You may wish to use Microsoft PowerPoint to create your food web. Save your food web as a picture. Finally copy and paste your picture in this section of your wiki. 

 

Interrelationship in Ecosystem :|

                                                                             Predator-prey relationship

Large seabirds , such as gulls , are the most-common top predators on the shorelines . The seashore is an ideal place for them because they eat so many different things . They feed on fish , shellfish and molluscs , and will take chicks and eggs of the other birds . They scavenge on dead creatures washed up on the seashore as well and even steal picnic food from human sunbathers!

                                                                                                               Mutualism

The cymothoid isopod specialized in piercing mouth parts for sucking blood and terminal hookson their limb for clamping on their fish host.
