Introduction

Picture this: you are a plant or animal living in a tide pool among the rocks along Maine's coast. Your home is a dangerous place. You have to find food and, at the same time, find protection so that you don't become someone else's lunch! When the tide comes in, the powerful waves crash on the rocks and try to wash you away. Can you hang on tight? And then, when the tide goes out, it leaves your habitat exposed to the wind, to birds, and humans! How do you survive? Are you the most clever creature in the tide pool? Are you the most important one in the tide pool habitat?
