The Interdial Zone and Rocky Shore

Plankton Barnacles Dogwhelks Crabs Sea Birds

Plankton - They stay in the interdial zone(the Upper zone, to be exact)

to get sunlight for photosynthesis as well as water. They are adapted to
staying in the splash zone by having a large surface area relative to
their weight, so they float when it is in water.

Barnacles - They eat the Plankton, getting the much-needed energy to

help them sustain the tough circumstances. They mostly stay in the
Upper or Middle Zone, as that is where their food is. They are adapted
to their environment in the sense that when the tide is out, barnacles
close their shells, preventing them from drying out, and being eaten by
birds. When the tides come in, the barnacles are simulated to open.
They also cluster together to reduce individual exposure.

Dogwhelks - They are mostly found in the Middle Shore, and they are
adapted to their environment by developing small teeth, which means
that crabs are less likely to dislodge them. They have also learned to
hide in macrohabitats in sandy crevices to protect themselves from the
waves.

Crabs - They are, again, found in the Middle Shore, which is where
their food comes from. They are adapted to their environments by
having a hard and tough outer layer to slow evaporation. They then
have their claws do defend themselves as well as catch predators.

Sea Birds - Even though they use the rocky shores as a place to rest after hunting,
sometimes they get food from there as well. They normally have to dive for it, as the
crabs and other animals that they eat or in the Middle Shore, but sometimes they just
grab it.
However, this is just a food chain. There are many different
food webs that show
a connection between
different food chains.
Here is an example.
