terms of convenience however‚ as the extreme high and low levels of tide may only be reached at intervals a considerable number of years apart. Since many organisms that dwell on rocky shores are annuals‚ this is of no significance to them. Although zonation is related to tides‚ it is influenced by other factors (discussed below). Indeed‚ Stephenson and Stephenson (1972) note‚ “Zonation‚ although undoubtedly related to tides‚ is not directly caused by them.” Lewis (1964) emphasises that restricting

1.0 Introduction Last term the Biology and Geography class went to Hastings Point‚ New South Wales to visit three ecosystems found in the area‚ such as- mangroves‚ sand dunes and rocky shores. Hasting Points is the smallest coastal settlement of Tweed Shire. The hamlet is nestled between the ocean on its east and a delicate estuary on its west. This report will focus on the unique coastal habitats of Hasting Points and the various issues that challenge the sustainability of mangroves surrounding

Abstract This investigation examined the preferred habitat of the prawn Alope spinifrons for the purpose of keeping the prawn in optimum conditions in captivity. The survey took place on shoreline between Matapouri Bay and Wooleys ’ Bay on the Tutukaka Coast. A. spinifrons populations were surveyed‚ water chemistry‚ temperature and depth were noted as well as substrate type and flora and fauna sharing the area. A. spinifrons preferred sheltered rocky areas where there was good water circulation

sloping rock on the edge of the rock platform. Organisms generally occupy and dominate specific zones. This sampling technique was carried out by constructing a line transect to examine the rock platform from an area of extreme low tide to an area of extreme high tide. Starting at the 0m mark the dominant organisms were identified at each meter. This information was graphed on a diagram. - A Quadrat was used to measure the distribution and abundance of the Tidal Rock-shelf Animals. The 1m squared

the Sun reinforce those of the moon: spring tide * When the moon is at first or third quarter‚ the sun and moon are separated by 90 degrees. The forces of the sun and moon cancel causing: neap tide * Semidiurnal: two high tides and two low tides each day * Diurnal: one tidal cycle per day * In most places tides are mixed. Because of the diurnal contribution‚ there is a difference in height (the daily inequality) between the two high tides in a given day. * The size of wind waves

Other than defining time in human experience‚ the sun and moon have very little in common. Their differences range from physical attributes to functions. Since the beginning of civilization‚ both bodies have inspired a fascination in humans. Even though the sun and moon appear to play similar roles‚ they are
