Description: The tidal flat is a flat area of land located in the coastal zone that is covered by water during high tide. These flats are dynamic ecosystems that undergo significant environmental changes due to variations in sea level. They are characterized by their muddy soil and halophytic vegetation, which includes plants adapted to salinity and periodic flooding. Tidal flats are crucial for biodiversity, providing habitats for a variety of bird species, fish, and other organisms. Additionally, they act as buffer zones that protect coastlines from erosion and help filter pollutants from water. Their ecological importance and role in regulating the water cycle make them an essential component of coastal ecosystems. These areas are also of interest for scientific research, as they provide insights into the effects of climate change and human activity on marine environments.
