"Captures the essence of life in the intertidal zone."
Choice

Through the eyes of a patient and observant marine biologist we explore the ecology of the intertidal zone, that area covered by the highest tides and exposed during the lowest.
The intertidal zone is a place of great beauty and diversity; it is a highly productive environment providing food for humans and animals; and, it is an indicator of the health of our coastal waters and oceans.
The film explains how pollution may concentrate in intertidal food chains.
THE INTERTIDAL ZONE is an astonishing glimpse at the food chains, interactive life cycles, and many special adaptations to this difficult environment.
The DVD version of this program is recorded on DVD-R which is not compatible with some older DVD players. See the new DVD page for more details.
