It is regarded as the most ecological part of the marine system (Olabarria et al‚ 2012). Rocky shore has three zone; low‚ mid and high with variety of communities living on each intertidal matrix (Vanschoenwinkel‚ 2007). High intertidal zone has rockpools and go to several months without being replenished from the seawater (McAllen & Taylor‚ 2001)

This research was processed through The Keystone Predator model‚ based upon experiments preformed in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington. This environment is the region between the high and low tide levels of a rocky shoreline. The community and population of the environment must survive the cold air and the nature of waves. 9 different species and their populations were simulated. The simulated environmental community contains 4 species of mobile consumers‚ 3 species of filter feeders

There were no beaches when oceans first covered the surface of the earth millions of years ago‚ only rocky shores. Over millions of years these solid stones were broken down into rocks by erosion‚ then were broken down into pebbles‚ and then into gravel‚ and then into sand.
