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
