rockpools

As the tide recedes some rockpools are left over. Rock pools near the low tide mark don't change a lot. But shallow rock pools that are higher above the low tide mark faces harsh conditions: The temperature increases or decreases, the salinity (amount of salt in the water) can become higher due to evaporation. After raining, fresh water drains into the rock pools and a rock pool can become too fresh for marine life. Oxygen can get depleted due to high temperatures or to little plant live.
The wracks grow on the drier high shore, the kelps are restricted to the lower shore

Tide pools are sensitiv for disturbance.
