Produced by the National Film Board of Canada
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. With Teacher's Guide.
