Intertidal Areas form the Base of the Ocean Food Chain
- "The nearshore environment is the place where the water meets the land. That intertidal area is hugely important for the biology of Puget Sound. Authorities say it’s a gathering place for 22 Chinook populations that swim in from every watershed around. It forms the base of the food chain. Tiny forage fish that salmon eat lay their eggs in the sandy shallows of the beaches." - excerpt from news report at kplu.org.
