Description: Tidal pools are coastal ecosystems that form in intertidal areas, where seawater accumulates in depressions during high tide and becomes isolated at low tide. These habitats are rich in biodiversity and host a community of organisms adapted to fluctuations in salinity, temperature, and exposure to air. Among the organisms inhabiting these pools are algae, mollusks, crustaceans, fish, and various species of invertebrates. The dynamics of tidal pools are influenced by tides, creating a unique environment where organisms must adapt to changing conditions. This ecosystem is not only crucial for the survival of many species but also acts as a natural filter, improving water quality and providing habitats for the breeding of fish and other marine organisms. Additionally, tidal pools are important for scientific research, as they offer an accessible model for studying marine ecology and biology. Their relevance extends to environmental education, where they serve as a valuable resource for teaching about conservation and the importance of coastal ecosystems.
