  • Module 2: Rocky Shores
    Module 2: Rocky Shores NSW MARINE PARKS EDUCATION KIT PORT STEPHENS-GREAT LAKES MARINE PARK 23 TEACHER FACT SHEET NSW Rocky Shores Rocky shores are unique habitats full of a variety of animals and plants. Due to the variation in rock composition on NSW rocky shores, there are five major habitat types – pools, cobbles, boulders, crevices and platforms – with each providing a living space for different types of plants and animals. Rock pools retain water at low tide and often contain a high diversity of plants and animals. Cobbled areas often retain moisture when the tide is out, and provide habitat for smaller animals. Boulder fields provide shelter from pounding waves and shelter from the sun and wind. Crevices provide many sheltering and hiding places for a variety of animals. Platforms are often the most exposed habitats, and their most common inhabitants are lichens and hard-shelled animals. A harsh life Life can be challenging for the creatures that live on the rocky shore, as organisms must cope with pounding waves, the harsh sun, fluctuating tides, wind, salt and rapid temperature changes. Rocky shore plants and animals have developed many adaptations to cope with these fluctuations. Animals that live in the highest part of the rocky shore are out of the water for the longest time, and must deal with being dried out by the sun, wind and salt, but are able to survive by using a combination of adaptations. Being a light colour helps to reflect the sun’s rays; grouping together is a strategy used to retain what little water is left after the last high tide; and the trap door (or operculum) to the entrance of the shell helps to retain water inside the shell between high tides, as well as safeguard against some predators.
