major ways for the survival of all organisms is called adaptation. When it comes to Intertidal Organisms their no different. Intertidal Organisms inhabit the specific area between low tide and high tide next to the rocks on the coasts‚ marshes and or wetlands.

While individual organisms die without fail‚ species continue to live through millions of years unless threatened by natural or anthropogenic extinction. Reproduction becomes a vital process without which species cannot survive for long. Each individual leaves its progeny by asexual or sexual means. Sexual mode of reproduction enables creation of new variants‚ so that survival advantage is enhanced

Ever wonder how evolution comes to be? How some species win and others lose? Evolution has many different ways of making organisms all better‚ faster‚ and more adept to live. Four big categories of the mechanisms of evolution are natural selection‚ gene flow‚ genetic drift‚ and mutations. The majority of the time‚ nature goes by a trial and error system that can take up many centuries to come up with a change that is beneficial.
